Hard Heart Land

Hey there, my memory cache recently coughed up a whole batch of songs that I'd forgotten about from 30 to 40 years ago.! I know, I know, some of you would say they wished that these tunes remained forgotten:P 

This is pre-production on this tune for an album I'm hoping to finish next year called the Subway Sessions...

LIVING AT THE END OF HEARTBREAK STREET FROM A ONE WAY TICKET FROM A ONE WAY DREAM

MY BAGS ARE PACKED IT'S TIME TO GO I'VE GOT TO MOVE ALONG I'VE BEEN HERE TOO LONG

WHAT DIDN'T I DO? WHAT DIDN'T I BE? I'M HERE AND YOU'VE FORSAKEN ME IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEARTLAND.

SO I SETTLED WITH THIS JOB WITH LESS THAN HONEST PAY WHERE I SWEAT ALL NIGHT AND SLEEP ALL DAY

IN THESE OLE’ LOWDOWN SMOKE FILLED BARS I PLAY MY GUITAR PRETEND I'M A STAR

THIS ISN'T HOW I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IT'S LIKE A LOCK WITHOUT A KEY IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEARTLAND

IT'S GETTING MEANER ALL THE TIME IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEART LAND

DON'T KNOW WHY I GOT THIS FAR FROM HOME DON'T KNOW WHY I'M ALL ALONE NOT A FRIEND TO CALL MY OWN EVEN A DOG GETS TO BURY ITS BONE

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M GETTING OLD DON't WANT TO DIE OUT HERE IN THE COLD
IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEARTLAND 

IT'S GETTING MEANER ALL THE TIME IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEARTLAND

AIN'T NO ONE GONNA LEND A HAND IN THIS HARD LAND THIS HARD HEARTLAND

LIVING AT THE END OF HEARTBREAK STREET ON THIS BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS...
