i've had a hard time lately (original hillbilly blues ukulele)

what a rotten week!
friends and neighbors, you'll know for sure if i ever hit the lottery because there's gonna be an uncle jeff shaped hole in east tennessee. i'll be hittin' hawaii like grant took richmond!
you can believe that because it's true!

on the upside, this week did remind me of this song which i've never done anything with.
written when my wife and i were dating (and we've been married sixteen years!)
one take, with flubs, on plastic mauna loa uke.

it was rainin' hard and the road was slick
four bald tires put me in the ditch quick
i've had a hard time lately
i've had a hard time lately
i've had a hard time lately
catchin' any kinda break at all

i put fifty bucks on the football board
i had every number covered 'cept the ones that got scored
i've had a hard time lately...

well, i shoot for the moon but i never do hit
if santa claus don't bring it i don't get it
the show goes on but i ain't got nothin' to show

i never get to see that woman i'm with
the bossman's got me on the graveyard shift
i've had a hard time lately...

well, i shoot for the moon but i never do hit it
if santa claus don't bring it i don't get it
the show goes on but i ain't got nothin' to show

i can drink every beer you set in front of me
but i'm livin' in dry county tennessee
i've had a hard time lately...
