Hard CurrencyOh Lord won't you help me For I have lost my way The only girl I've ever loved Walked out on me today Left this house as empty As the hole in my heart That I'm filling with whiskey And The sound of my guitar Chorus: And these lonesome sounds I'm making Are the sounds of my heart breaking I am a victim of the choices I made But lately it occurs to me It's the bad trades that must be paid In hard currency She's the light of my life Now my whole world's gone dark The love that once burned in her heart Is now less than a spark Some neighbors have gathered In the street by our house I can see them shudder each time I call her name out loud Chorus: And these lonesome sounds I'm making Are the sounds of my heart breaking I am a victim of the choices I made But lately it occurs to me It's the bad trades that must be paid In hard currency Bridge: She tried hard to save me From my life of vice Now she's cashed in her chips And I'm paying the price Chorus: And these lonesome sounds I'm making Are the sounds of my heart breaking I am a victim of the choices I made But lately it occurs to me It's the bad trades that must be paid In hard currency Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
