John Mellencamp – Hard Times For An Honest Man Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: The Lonesome Jubilee

One man
Does his work
He^,s not satisfied
Not at all
Feels like
That he is being used
His self respect starts to fall
His frustration
Runnin^, very very high
He takes it out
On the one he loves
Because it^,s safe
And who they gonna tell
And he hates the cold-bloodedness
That runs inside

[Chorus:]
Oh yes
It^,s hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times

Sister
She^,s got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But she^,s young
And she^,s unaware
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And there ain^,t no man can touch this girl^,s heart

[Chorus]

So we walk
From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and say good-bye
But some days are hard, like a soldier^,s steel-toed boots
And the rent we pay to stay here gets high

[Chorus]
