[ Featuring P.Coltrane Allstars ]
Workin' twelve-hour shifts
No end in sight
Stackin' pennies while the bills come overnight
The stove's gone cold
But the fire won't quit
Every time I get ahead
I'm fallin' back a bit
Life shole be hard
Harder than stone
A heavy weight I've been carryin' alone
The cracks keep spreadin
I'm feelin' the strain
But somehow I keep pushin' through the pain
Roof's still leakin
Bucket on the floor
Every drop a reminder of what I can't ignore
The wind cuts sharp
Right through the walls
This house is tired
But it still stands tall
The blues ride with me
Every step I take
A melody of struggle in the choices I make
The world don't slow
It don't wait for me
But I plant my feet
I fight to be free
Life shole be hard
Harder than stone
A heavy weight I've been carryin' alone
The cracks keep spreadin
I'm feelin' the strain
But somehow I keep pushin' through the pain
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring
But I'll keep movin
Hearin' the blues sing
Life shole be hard
But I'm still here
Standin' tall
Holdin' back these tears
