Hardstone City Lyrics - Hothouse Flowers

In the hardstone city where the dust gets in your eyes 

Pa he's out drinking and there's children crying 

Ma sits by the washing, she don't know what to do 

Looks like this hardstone city's gonna get on top of you 

They say in this hardstone city you gotta carry a gun 

Well I ain't gonna carry no shooter for no one 

Ain't gonna get me no body's gonna get me down 

This hardstone city has me feeling low 

All I hear is wildcats screaming on the radio 

Gonna get my sister gonna hold her near 

Gonna take her right, right out of here 

I'm sick and tired of waking up in this town 

All I hear is car horns hooting all day long 

Gonna get me a lady, fall in love with her 

And take her out of this crazy world
