Hard Knocks

Some kids born with a silver spoon
I guess that I was born a little too soon

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And IÂ’m telling you, I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share

Some kids born as rich as a king
But I was born without a doggone thing

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And IÂ’m telling you, I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share

I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
IÂ’ve heard that lonesome whistle blow
From new york city down to mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And IÂ’m telling you, I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share

I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
IÂ’ve heard that lonesome whistle blow
From new york city down to mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And IÂ’m telling you, I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share
I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share
I said youÂ’d better beware
Â’cause IÂ’ve had my share of hard knocks
