[Verse 1]
If I could have all the women in the world
I would take this time to leave

The pressure's on and I'm not some kind of strong man
So take this thing from me

Don't give it a second thought

I can see you got better things to do
So just take your things and leave

[Chorus]
Hard times
(Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by

Hard times
(Happiest days of my life)
Hard times gone by

[Verse 2]
Late at night with the darkness here around me
I'm drinking all alone

Nothing here but my medicine to guide me
Since I've been on my own

Well, have you forgotten now

Memories that continue to amaze me
Are all but over now

[Chorus x2]

[Solo]

[Chorus x2]

[Solo 2]

[Chorus Outro]
