lyrics

Oh, sometimes the rain may fall
And there is a long road
And no one to call on
I guess that’s what they call a hard truth
That’s what they call a hard truth
But you must
Be true to you

Oh, sometimes you’re all alone
And there ain’t nothing for you
And nobody reaching out their hand
I guess that’s what they call a hard truth
That’s what they call a hard truth
But you really have to
Stay true to you

(Horns)

Oh, maybe you’re falling behind
But you know there’s always tomorrow
And always a chance to win again
I guess that’s what they call a hard truth
That’s what they call a hard truth
I guess that’s what they call a hard truth
That’s what they call a hard truth
