Select language to translate this lyric
Iâve traveled every highway Been down every road
Tried doing things my way But all I got was old
Been out here a playinâ Since I turned sixteen
Got nothing to show no, But these tired olâ blue jeans
But as sure as death and taxes
Iâll tell you what Iâve learned
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ Lord
Theyâre already here!
Theyâre already here!
Iâve seen hungry in the city, Poor folk workinâ in the fields
Just tryinâ to make a livinâ While politicians lie and steal
We used to have it good here, Work hard and die free
Ainât no jobs to find now Since they moved them over seas
But as sure as death and taxes
Iâll tell you what Iâve learned
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ Lord
Theyâre already here!
Theyâre already here!
Iâve seen young men leavinâ home To fight in a foreign land
While here at our borders The drugs keep pouring in
Iâve seen children in the streets Playinâ with knives and guns
Doing the occasional drive by, killinâ each other just for fun
But as sure as death and taxes
Iâll tell you what Iâve learned
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ Lord
Theyâre already here!
Theyâre already here!
Weâve lost our way and the phrase, âIn God We Trustâ
Then we sit and pray all day, Somebody comes to save us
Iâve traveled every highway Been down every road
Searching for an answer But all I hear is I donât know
But as sure as death and taxes
Iâll tell you what Iâve learned
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ
There ainât no hard times cominâ Lord
Theyâre already here!
