Hard Time Will Be the Best Time

(Red Steagall)



I hear they're hiring men in Oklahoma

And I've been blessed with two hard working hands

I'll take that job till the mill goes back to working

And we'll make it through the hard times again.



Like the preacher said in church last Sunday morning

Oh, the Lord does things we may not understand

We both know that he'll take care of his children

If we live every day the best we can.



And these hard times will be the closest times we've known

Let's laugh and dream of better days to come

These will be the good old days a little later on

And these hard times will be the closest times we've known.



You know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need

We've got so much we should be thankful for

Dry your eyes turn out the light let me hold you close

That makes these hard times the closest times we've known.



And these hard times will be the closest times we've known

Let's laugh and dream of better days to come

These will be the good old days a little later on

And these hard times will be the closest times we've known.



Yes, these hard times will be the closest times we've known...
