Hard Road - Lucinda Williams

How long have you been hangin' around\nYour eyes fixed to the cement ground\nYour heart is warm, your hands are cold\nYou know the truth, but the story gets old\nYou stood on the corner for a long time\nPeople passin' by you gave you nickels and dimes\nThey think you’re one of the nameless\nCuz you got no record and you ain’t famous\nOh, Bill, I know how you’re feelin'\nYour heart’s on fire and your head is reelin'\nBut with the spirit to guide you\nAnd a friend beside you\nYou know you’ll win\nIf you’re only willin'\nThe sun’s so hot and my heart is thumpin'\nLet me buy you a beer or somethin'\nYou’ve been travellin' a hard road\nSit down, Bill, lighten your load\nIf you need a friend, give me a call\nI got your picture on my wall\nFrom one compadre to another\nI love you, bill, as I would my brother\nOh, Bill, I know how you’re feelin'\nYour heart’s on fire and your head is reelin'\nBut with the spirit to guide you\nAnd a friend beside you\nYou know you’ll win\nIf you’re only willin'\nOh, Bill, I know how you’re feelin'\nYour heart’s on fire and your head is reelin'\nBut with the spirit to guide you\nAnd a friend beside\nYou you know you’ll win\nIf you’re only willin'
