Hard Times Come To Those Who Wait

Woke up to fields among the fire

Ran down the hill, stepped inside

Call you up in time

To make it out

But you were sleepin’

Better off alone this time

Rode into town, up in smoke

Tryna figure out what’s been broke

Can you help me out?

I’m just a friend

A lot like you

Light it up

It ain't mine to choose

Hard times come to those who wait

By now or maybe yesterday

In the night I hear you call

Thunder by my name

Hard times come to those who wait

If you wait

And someone, anyone

With something left to smile

Could be there for someone

But I’ve been gone for miles

Loading up the truck, you drive away

By the door, a tired, picture frame

When you hold my hand

It’s hard to breathe

But I see clearly

Sometimes the dark is all it takes

Hard times come to those who wait

By now or maybe yesterday

In the night I hear you call

Thunder by my name

Hard times come to those who wait

If you wait
