Jim Croce - Hard Time Losin' Man

Chorus:
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man

Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far far away and hide
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide

Chorus

Oh I saved up all my money
I gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he smokin' on a big cigar
Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
Then I got on the highway...oh, I feelin' fine...I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine

Chorus

Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
I head out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
Well he sold me a dime of some super fine
Dynamite from Mexico
I spent all that night
Just tryin' to get right
On an ounce of Oregano

Chorus (4 x's)

I am 35 and still truly discovering what Croce and Maury have done for musicianship, you know the lost art in todays musik, and they are just absolutely UNMATCHED. Thanks for all these remastered classics.

@MuSkAandKoStOn8 How could anyone dislike this XD or any of his songs really

[kemalmstf]

yeah brothers and sisters,all i gotta do is hear Jimmy C and Immediately those memories kick in of the days of the early 70"s. we use to walk like 2 miles to high school,me and the 5-6 guys we hung together,Now if we stopped at mike"s,we would listen to these songs,all it took was for one of us to say,damn,lets get high,well,looks like we didnt make it to school again! Hah! Hah! great times,and days they were for sure,God Bless Your Soul Jim & Maury! you will never pass in my lifetime,and all .
