This ain't no Casablanca...
This ain't no black and white
Everybody's armed and dangerous--
And someone's gonna buy it tonight...
And what about the dream
They said would save you?
Oh, Lord--tell it to
The guys who fought the war...
--'Cause you know they're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
And it ain't the way that they told us about it--
It ain't that way anymore...
They're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
So here's to the others--the friends and the lovers--
The ones that the good times were for
...Hard time
Me, I've got my moments...
You, you've had your fill
And this'd be one dead cowboy--
Baby, if looks could kill...
And walkin' away just
Ain't that romantic...
Oh, Lord--and ain't that
what we came here for?...
--But now we're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
And it ain't the way that they told us about it--
It ain't that way anymore...
We're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
So here's to the others--the friends and the lovers--
The ones that the good times were for
...Hard time
--And now we're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
And it ain't the way that they told us about it--
It ain't that way anymore...
They're doin'
...Hard time
Hard time
So here's to the others--the friends and the lovers--
The ones that the good times were for
...Hard time
...Hard time
...Hard time
...Hard time
