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 loved
I've been hurt
And I've been scorned
Sometimes I wish 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 hangin' on my back

Get in trouble, Thrown in jail
I had no one, to grow my bail

But all of my hard times
Soon will be over
All of my hard times
Soon will be over

I've been lost,
But now I'm found
There ain't no way
Tokeep a good man down

CAme a woman, took my hand
And now I feel like a natural man

But all of my hard times
Soon will be over
All of my hard times
Soon will be over

All of my hard times
Soon will be over
All of my hard times
Soon will be over

All of my hard times
Soon will be over
All of my hard times
Soon will be over

All of my hard times
Soon will be over
All of my hard times
