Lyrics Mark Knopfler – Hard Shoulder
Text:
I’ve got latches for windows
Handles for doors
Grinders and scrapers
And sanders for floors
Rake for the gravel
Chains for the snow
Always got the shovel
You never know
I never thought you’d go
Man’s broken down
Man’s broken down
On the slip road
Got a slip load
And it’s a hard
Shoulder to cry on
Hacksaws and hammers
Brushes and mop
And I’ve got the ladders
Up on the top
If something needs doing
I always say
You want it done
The proper way
I need you to stay
Man’s broken down
Man’s broken down
On the slip road
Got a slip load
And it’s a hard
Shoulder to cry on
Give me a minute
We’ll be going again
Sound as a bell
Right as rain
Right as rain
And it’s a hard
Shoulder to cry on
To cry on
