(Johnny Van Zant/Erik Lundgren)



Workin' man workin' 9 to 5

Can't call in sick or his family won't survive

And though they pray

There's bills still to pay

Workin' man, there's got to be another way

Everybody's got the same old hard luck story

It's just a hard luck, hard luck story.



The times we live in are confusin' as hell

Oil companies say there's nothin' left in the well

They take our money and live high on the hog

Help us Mr. President or ain't that your job

It's just another hard luck, hard luck story

It's just another hard luck, hard luck story.



Wake up in the morning, you can taste the air

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Lord it just ain't fair

They tell us this and they tell us that

But, it all melts down to the same old fact

It's just another in a long line

Of hard luck stories.



It's a hard luck, hard luck story.

It's a hard luck, hard luck story...
