Song Lyrics

Met a man walking on the side of the road
His name was Joe and his clothes were borrowed
When he spoke all his word had pain
In his eyes and his heart was sorrow

He walked for many miles in the rain
Said he'd be walking until tomorrow
His wife took the kids and drove away
With his best friend and moved down to Mexico

He felted he'd lost everything
Made a new friend named Johnny Walker
Often he cried about his past till Johnny said to him

Sir Times get hard
And Things go wrong
Though you stumble and fall
Don't give up just get up again

You can't complain
bout the heartache and pain
But right there you remain
Till you choose to get up

I met this girl on 42ND street
On her way to work religiously
She looked me in my eyes and said to me
She's barely able to make ends meet

It broke my heart to have to hear her say
She had three children and one on the way
For her kids she had to be strong
'Cause things got rough when their daddy moved on

To proud to ask her family to help her
Cause her father always swore she'd be a failure
If it wasn't for her children's love
She would have given up

Times may get hard
Times may get hard
Times may get hard
And things may go wrong
Though you stumble and fall
Don't give up just get up again

You can't complain
'Bout the heartache and pain
When right there you'll remain
Till you choose to get up

Times may get hard
And Things may go wrong
Got your self to lean on
Just be strong and hold on

This is your life
It's your time make it right
When they turn out your light
There's no chance to come back again
