When you're down Kissin' the ground And your friends downtown Won't even let you sleep on the floor anymore When you're holdin' up a cup On a corner in the cold all night You start to cry and wonder why You're doin' hard time You're doin' hard time, hard time Even your soul ain't got a dime You're doin' hard time, hard time Outta luck, can't make a buck Try to run but you're stuck In the muck of your shattered life Like a knife through your heart tears you apart You got no one to hold but Your memories through the night And you can't see the light You're doin' hard time You're doin' hard time, hard time Even your soul ain't got a dime You're doin' hard time, hard time When you're found they push you around You got no one to hold but Your memories through the night You can't see the light You're doin' hard time You're doin' hard time, hard time Even your soul ain't got a dime You're doin' hard time, hard time When you're found they push you around You got no one to hold but Your memories through the night You can't see the light
