Charley Crockett - Welcome to Hard Times

To Rate
Verse 1
Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you
And everybody's playin': boys and girls
Women, children, me, and you
The dice are loaded and everything's fixed
Even a hobo would tell you this

Chorus
Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
Do you like sinnin'? No?
Well, you will before you go
We've got lots of gamblin'
Oh, and we're tellin' lies
You're certainly welcome to hard times

Verse 2
Take a look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Besides the bright blinking lights
Stretched out in front of me
I wonder if you'll notice
Would you even care
If I told you my life just isn't fair?

Chorus
Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
Do you like sinnin'? No?
Well, you will before you go
We've got lots of gamblin'
Oh, and we're tellin' lies
You're certainly welcome to hard times
Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times
