When the world
is a hard place to live
Everything feels like
it’s all take and no give
Mountains are high
you’re too weak to climb
Whoa, whoa, darlin’
just keep my heart in mind
Keep my heart in mind, darlin’
keep my heart in mind
My love for you is deep and true
so keep my heart in mind
There’s flies in the kitchen
I can hear ‘em they’re buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothin’
since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin’
And come home in the evenin’
And have nothin’ to say
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go
There some bad news going round
Our whole world turning’s upside down
Dreams are shattered, hearts are broken
Hope is shot down on the ground
And sorrow takes its toll now
In the dark night of your soul
It’s not the first time; won’t be the last time
We have lost on the battleground
In the struggle there’ll be sad times
When the haters take us down
Keep your eyes fixed on the goal now
In the dark night of your soul
And when all your hope is gone
That’s the time to carry on
So keep your light on
Vow to fight on
Through the dark night of your soul
I’ve been made blue, I’ve been lied to
When will I be loved
I’ve been turned down, I’ve been pushed ‘round
When will I be loved
When I meet a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time
I’ve been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved
I used to have a job
but they shut it down
Put the blame on the union (like they always do)
and now it’s in some foreign town
I’m done crying
I’ve got no more tears
You can’t use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
But you won’t take away my dignity
cause I’m still a man
They took the house
when I lost my job
Left us out in the street (yes they did)
Why’d you pick us to rob?
I’m done crying
I’ve got no more tears
I can’t give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
But you won’t take away my dignity
cause I am still a man
