Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney



It's A hard life

When you feel down

And nobody understands you

They leave you hanging around

You waste all your days

Miss all your nights

Sit round just dreaming

You can do nothing right



It's a hard life

When your alone

Cramped in your lonely little room

Under dressed like a bone

You Walk in the streets

And people are so blind

Won't give you there penny

They just don't have the time



Ooooh It's a hard life

Up on the road

You better check it well

Before you meet all the blows

For you won't like the walkin'

You'll get caught in the rain

But the steep on the highway

Lord you wish you never came
