It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith[00:00:01]

I am a backseat driver from America[00:00:19]

They drive to the left on falls road[00:00:24]

The man at the wheel's name is Shamus[00:00:28]

We pass a child on the corner he knows[00:00:33]

And Shamus says [00:00:38]

"Now what chance has that kid got "[00:00:39]

And I say from the back [00:00:43]

"I don't know"[00:00:44]

He says [00:00:47]

"There's barbed wire at all these exits[00:00:47]

And there ain't no place[00:00:51]

In Belfast for that kid to go"[00:00:53]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:00:57]

It's a very hard life[00:00:59]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:01:02]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:01:06]

Then the hard life is all[00:01:11]

That they'll know[00:01:13]

And there ain't no place[00:01:16]

In Belfast for that kid to go[00:01:17]

A cafeteria line in Chicago[00:01:25]

The fat man in front of me[00:01:31]

Is calling black people trash to his children[00:01:35]

And he's the only trash here I see[00:01:40]

And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood[00:01:44]

In the night when the children should sleep[00:01:49]

But they'll slip to their window[00:01:54]

And they'll see him[00:01:56]

And they'll think[00:01:59]

That white hood's all they need[00:02:00]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:02:04]

It's a very hard life[00:02:06]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:02:09]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:02:12]

Then the hard life is all[00:02:17]

That they'll know[00:02:20]

And there ain't no place[00:02:23]

In Chicago for those kids to go[00:02:24]

I was a child in the sixties[00:02:47]

Dreams could be held through TV[00:02:52]

With Disney and Cronkite and martin Luther[00:02:57]

And I believed I believed I believed[00:03:01]

Now I am the backstreet driver from America[00:03:06]

I am not at the wheel of control[00:03:11]

I am guilty I am war [00:03:16]

I am the root of all evil[00:03:18]

Lord I can't drive[00:03:20]

On the left side of the road[00:03:22]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:03:24]

It's a very hard life[00:03:28]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:03:31]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:03:33]

Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:03:40]

And there ain't no place[00:03:45]

In this world for these kids to go[00:03:46]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:03:50]
