Dialogue: Hard Time Hungrys - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
There's an old man sittin' in a rented room[00:00:42]
Sittin' and watchin' the wall[00:00:47]
Tryin' to remember the good ole days[00:00:51]
And wonderin' why the kids don't call [00:00:55]
They used to go drivin' in the summer sun[00:00:59]
When his woman was alive[00:01:04]
Now he reads his Gideon Bible and waits[00:01:08]
For his welfare check to arrive [00:01:12]
He got the hard time hungrys[00:01:16]
Doin' the best that he can[00:01:21]
Lord the hard time hungrys[00:01:24]
Are spreadin' all over the land [00:01:30]
There's a Tennessee housewife shoppin' in the market[00:01:36]
Wearin' her last used jeans[00:01:41]
She picks up a roast then changes her mind[00:01:45]
Puts it back down and buys some more beans [00:01:49]
Her old man's workin' in the filling station[00:01:54]
And what's he gonna say[00:01:59]
When he sits down to a table full of nothin'[00:02:02]
After workin' like a dog all day [00:02:06]
He got the hard time hungrys[00:02:10]
Doin' the best that they can[00:02:15]
I see the hard time hungrys[00:02:18]
Spreadin' all over the land [00:02:25]
A Mississippi farmer he's watchin' the sky[00:02:31]
Wondering if it's gonna rain[00:02:35]
The payment's due on the tractor Lord[00:02:40]
And the subsidy's been taken away [00:02:43]
And in New York City a taxicab driver[00:02:48]
Screams at the world outside[00:02:52]
'Cause it sure is hot and nobody's got[00:02:56]
The money for a cross town ride [00:03:01]
Lord they got the hard time hungrys[00:03:04]
Doin' the best that they can[00:03:10]
I see the hard time hungrys[00:03:13]
Spreadin' all over the land [00:03:19]
Now I ain't no preacher and I ain't no teacher[00:03:26]
But one thing's sure as the sun[00:03:30]
If the dollar keeps a droppin' and prices keep a risin'[00:03:34]
The worst is yet to come [00:03:39]
We got the hard time hungrys[00:03:42]
I feel it touchin' my hand[00:03:47]
Lord I see the hard time hungrys[00:03:50]
Spreadin' all over the land [00:03:57]
Yes I see the hard time hungrys[00:04:00]
Spreadin' all over the land[00:04:05]
