ELTON JOHN - Hard Luck Story lyrics

rate me

Written by ann orson and carte blanche<br>Available on the album rock of the westies<br><br>Sometimes I think I'm going crazy<br>Staring at the same four walls<br>Waiting for the working day to end<br>Then I get home so wasted, worn out<br>I curse at you and tell you<br>How I've done the work of ten to fifteen men<br>How I've struggled for my money<br>Sweated blood to get us by, yeah<br>Well I'm tired of it honey<br>Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a while<br><br>All you hear are hard luck stories<br>And the ways I look at life<br>And the way I think the world treats me<br>And the way that I treat my wife<br><br>I never seem to look at you<br>And see that somewhere underneath<br>A pair of tired eyes are crying out<br>Well you know I work hard all day long<br>Let me kiss you once with meaning<br>Just to kill this nagging doubt<br>Well you don't deny I do you proud<br>And you expect me to be tired<br>You say there's no future in our lives<br>While I persist I'm putting out the fire<br><br>All you hear are hard luck stories<br>Just a few well chosen words<br>`cause you're still the woman of a working man<br>You've got the heart of a working girl
