Hard Luck Story Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Van Zant

Workin' man, workin' 9 to 5 

Can't call in sick or his family won't survive 

And though they pray there's bills still to pay 

Workin' man, there's got to be another way 

Everybody's got the same old hard luck story 

It's just a hard luck, hard luck story 

The times we live in are confusin' as hell 

Oil companies say there's nothin' left in the well 

They take our money and live high on the hog 

Help us Mr. President or ain't that your job 

It's just another hard luck, hard luck story 

It's just another hard luck, hard luck story 

Wake up in the morning, you can taste the air 

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Lord, it just ain't fair 

They tell us this and they tell us that 

But, it all melts down to the same old fact 

It's just another in a long line 

Of hard luck stories 

It's a hard luck, hard luck story 

It's a hard luck, hard luck story
