Johnny Van Zant - Hard Luck Story Lyrics

Workin' man, workin' nine to five
Can't call in sick or his family won't survive
And though they pray there's bills still to pay
Workin' man, there's got to be another way

Everybody's got the same old hard luck story
It's just a hard luck, hard luck story

The times we live in are confusin' as hell
Oil companies say there's nothin' left in the well
They take our money and live high on the hog
Help us Mr. President or ain't that your job

It's just another hard luck, hard luck story
It's just another hard luck, hard luck story

Wake up in the morning, you can taste the air
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Lord, it just ain't fair
They tell us this and they tell us that
But, it all melts down to the same old fact

It's just another in a long line
Of hard luck stories

It's a hard luck, hard luck story
It's a hard luck, hard luck story
