Hard Times

I ain't got a nickel to call mine

The government has made me pay my tax on time

They've taken all my bread and left me here for dead

I ain't even got a lousy dime



Who the hell wants money

When there ain't none to be had

It don't make the good times better

It don't make the bad times bad



Well, you find out who your friends are

When you ain't got a dime

Just trying to make the best of these hard times



I've got fifteen cars and I can't afford the gas

We've got a horse but how long can she last

My managers enraged, my banker stands there days

Funny how the money goes so fast



Who the hell wants money

When there ain't none to be had

It don't make the good times better

It don't make the bad times bad



Well, you find out who your friends are

When you ain't got a dime

Just trying to make the best of these hard times



We are broke but we've been broke before

But being broke don't scare us anymore

My daddy's broke and grandpa too

But I'm still here to sing for you

We are going to make it through for sure



Well, you find out who your friends are

When you ain't got a dime

Just trying to make the best of these hard times
