Last Hard Town Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Woke up on a bus and heard the driver say 

Friends fill it up with No 2 

Wondered where I was and wondered what today 

Would be demanding me to do 

It's not for me the last cause I'm just goin' 

Where life's sendin' me I guess 

The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks 

In the last hard town we met 

I sat pickin' on my guitar till I saw 

The new sun comin' through the skies 

Ain't it funny how the truth is sometimes 

Written on an artificial high 

Carry water from the well until you know 

That all the children are refreshed 

The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks 

In the last hard town we met

We were drinking too much yesterday 

Nobody's ever told us what's enough 

The ones that we should've prayed for more than likely 

Were the ones we had to cuss 

They applauded as we killed ourselves 

But angels don't have bourbon on their breath 

The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks 

In the last hard town we met 

They came to see the people that they thought we were 

And never changed their minds 

They explained the way that difference caused 

The folks who love a picker can be blind 

They misunderstood the words but understood 

That our intentions were the best 

The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks 

In the last hard town we met 

Photos 

What a picker does for others is the thing 

He's mainly doing for himself 

There were friends and there were neighbors 

But the good homes that we came from didn't help 

If there's anything you'd like to say 

About us after we have gone to rest 

We would like someone to mention all the good folks 

In the last hard town we met
