Lyrics

Here's to dead bandmates and cellmates
Soulmates and retro-bates
Ladies of the night in those skimpy clothes
Who want to play and don't want to get old
'Cause they are working their way through the hard way
Trying to get by but something's in their way
They shouldn't lie down in the hard way
It's hard for some

[Chorus]
Falling from grace, throwing the race
Running in place and this is a disgrace
Watching the world turn, turn to grey in place
Nothing a quick getaway
You're just trying to survive another day
Because you're trying, trying, trying to be
To do everything in the hard way
You're doing everything in the hard way

[Verse 2]
Here's to the players who make time stand still
In nightclubs and seedy bars
Here's to the licks and the dirty tricks
You pick up when you live the life
In the hard way, in the hard way

[Bridge]
I'd grab for something, I'd grab for all
Then you find out it was all just
All of the hard way, all of the hard way

I did it part of the hard way
Part of the hard way
But sometimes I...
