The Hard Stuff
© 2013 by Michael JerlingFrom the album Halfway Home
His old man used to yell at The TV late at night Pressed up against the thin wall In a world of black & white Kids today, the government The way it used to be He'd pour another nightcap Just to help him sleep He was workin' on the hard He was workin' on the hard stuff It should have been all gravy It should have been all cream Grandkids on the weekend Livin' out the dream But the walls kept closing in And buried her in doubt Now she's starting over Now she's digging out She's workin' on the hard She's workin' on the hard stuff And sometimes when he yells at The TV late at night Up against the thin wall A world of black & white Things get complicated They get tied up in knots Sometimes it gets better Sometimes it does not When you're workin' on the hard When you're workin on the hard stuff (2x)
