Hard Luck Story

Written by Ann Orson and Carte BlancheAvailable on the album Rock Of The WestiesSometimes I think I'm going crazyStaring at the same four wallsWaiting for the working day to endThen I get home so wasted, worn outI curse at you and tell youHow I've done the work of ten to fifteen menHow I've struggled for my moneySweated blood to get us by, yeahWell I'm tired of it honeyThink I'm gonna have to leave here for a whileAll you hear are hard luck storiesAnd the ways I look at lifeAnd the way I think the world treats meAnd the way that I treat my wifeI never seem to look at youAnd see that somewhere underneathA pair of tired eyes are crying outWell you know I work hard all day longLet me kiss you once with meaningJust to kill this nagging doubtWell you don't deny I do you proudAnd you expect me to be tiredYou say there's no future in our livesWhile I persist I'm putting out the fireAll you hear are hard luck storiesJust a few well chosen words`Cause you're still the woman of a working manYou've got the heart of a working girl
