Once I had a life.
Three kids and a wife.
Went to work every day
To bring home my hard earned pay.
How could I have known
That I would end up alone?
And I would have to retreat
Down to Hard Luck Street.
This street is unkind.
It makes me feel blind
To the beauty I knew,
But that life is through.
Now my days are all gray,
And they're drifting away,
Like someone you'd meet
Down on Hard Luck Street.
I see only ground.
Always looking down.
I've got nothing to give.
I've got nowhere to live.
And it makes me feel sad
For the life I once had.
Now, if you should choose
To walk a mile in my shoes,
Look at the sores on my feet
From walking down Hard Luck Street.
