Lucinda Williams - Hard Road lyrics

How long have you been hangin' around Your eyes fixed to the cement ground Your heart is warm, your hands are cold You know the truth, but the story gets old You stood on the corner for a long time People pa**in' by you gave you nickels and dimes They think you're one of the nameless Cuz you got no record and you ain't famous Oh, Bill, I know how you're feelin' Your heart's on fire and your head is reelin' But with the spirit to guide you And a friend beside you You know you'll win If you're only willin' The sun's so hot and my heart is thumpin' Let me buy you a beer or somethin' You've been travellin' a hard road Sit down, Bill, lighten your load If you need a friend, give me a call I got your picture on my wall From one compadre to another I love you, bill, as I would my brother Oh, Bill, I know how you're feelin' Your heart's on fire and your head is reelin' But with the spirit to guide you And a friend beside you You know you'll win If you're only willin' Oh, Bill, I know how you're feelin' Your heart's on fire and your head is reelin' But with the spirit to guide you And a friend beside You you know you'll win If you're only willin'
