All of my hard times soon will be over
All of my hard times soon will be over
I've been pushed and I've been shoved
I've been put down by the people I love
I've been hurt and I've been scorned
At times I've wished I'd never been born
All of my hard times soon will be over
All of my hard times soon will be over
I was raised in a two room shack
The only thing I owned was hanging on my back
I've been in trouble thrown in jail
I had nobody to draw my bail
All of my hard times soon will be over
All of my hard times soon will be over
I been lost but now I'm found
There ain't no way to keep a good man down
You came along and took my hand
And now I feel like a newborn man
All of my hard times soon will be over
All of my hard times soon will be over
