Hard time, Memphis Tennessee blues (c) 1975 Gold Coast Music (BMI) Richard (Harris, Burton)..came from Georgia, he had a look in his eye feeling uncertain of rock 'n roll lies, time he was waistin' decidin' if the future would'nt fail him he wondered how to face another day he thought of all the things he had to say... I was in Memphis, I was half alive watching and waiting trying to survive somehow some way I have to let them be Now, I have to carry the weight for my family my mind was traveling way beyond the stars Passing strangers, I've been there before say man, you got a dime for a phone call sorry bother I can't spare the time now you're asking me to fight another war

I'm on the rooftop watching sunrise paint the sky I'm gonna make it through the night You said forever, I believed the stars You can make it now You're gonna make it, you'll find Now I'm standing here alone the nighttime ain't so inviting remember, now you're out of time it's not so exciting Can you carry that that sign now don't you give up the fight
you know this time that's on your side now you won't have to cry anymore now what will it take, when more is not enough don't you give up the fight
feeling searching and alive You can let yourself go now. don't you worry, Don't you give up the fight you're gonna make it, you can make it Richard, I know your success is overdue.

I knew it would happens, it was a matter of time, you showed me things I couldn't find. truth we discover in times of uncertainty

Don't you, hold yourself down, you'll be sorry. You can let yourself go now. don't you worry, Don't you give up the fight you're gonna make it, you can make it Richard, I know your success is overdue.
