Lyrics

Hard Luck Town

Small Town Man Just Tryin’ To Make His Way
Workin’ The Mines On the Iron Range
The Winds Turned Cold Around ’85
Left Him Standin’ In The Unemployment Line

He Always Thought He’d Work The Iron Ore
Just Like His Father & His Father Before
Now He Tryin’ To Save Some Pride
Standin’ With His Kids In The Welfare Line

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town

Born To Run’s On The Radio
But He Ain’t Got No Place To Go
One Last Drink To Ease His Mind
Been Drinkin’ Since Noon, It’s Closin’ Time

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town

That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
It Chews You Up, And It Tears You Down
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
That’s The Way It Goes In This Hard Luck Town
