Songtext Fell on hard times Neal Casal

Fell on hard times

Since
I fell on hard times
I haven't known what to do
I spend my days here in line
Just waiting for something new
From fireworks and peaches
To weed, speed and bluegrass
From buses that burn
And barns that lean down
As far as my memory reaches
Since
I fell on hard times
I haven't known where to go
I thought
I might have seen a sign
With the first dust of snow
But it added up to nothing
And now
I'm no longer sure
If my prayers are just a habit
Or if
I'm just a fool
For thinking life ain't worth living
Since
I fell on hard times
And no one knows
Just what lay in store
No one knows
Just what we're in for
No one knows
Nobody knows
Since
I fell on hard times
I haven't known right from wrong
But lord knows
I've been trying
To find where
I belong
I keep dreaming bare branches
On these air patrolled highways
I guess it just comes from living life alone
In these hotels shaped like ashes
Since
I fell on hard times
I ain't been feeling that good
I tell the world that
I'm fine
I'd change it all if
I could (
Yeah,
I would)
I sold my green leather jacket
In front of the
Piedmont cafe
And ever since then
I've been looking for someone
To help while these days away
Yeah, since
I fell on hard times
And no one knows
Just what lay in store
No one knows just what we're in for
No one knows
Nobody knows (*2)
Who'll be the next to go
Since
I fell on hard times
I can't believe what
I've seen
To live such a different life
Than the one that you dreamed
Itàs all part of a story
But it has no end
From fortunes that turn to reasons we find
To live it all over again
Since
I fell on hard times
