Текст Seasick Steve – Hard Knocks

Once upon a time
There was a young boy
And he had no home
To call his own

So he took to the road
Well not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

Well, lessons were learned
And a heart it got burned
And the innocence turned
Like it will do
Into something tough as leather
Protect you from the weather
Yeah, some so tough
Nobody can hurt you

So you take to the road
Well not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

Now everybody’s got
A path they must tread
And tread you must
Till your dead

Don’t become as tough as leather
Who cares about the weather
And always let love in
Even if it hurts you

‘Cause we’re all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

Yeah, we’re all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, we’re all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
