Hard Nose the Highway

Hey kids, dig the first takes

Ain't that some interpretation?

When Sinatra sings against Nelson Riddle strings

And then takes a vacation

Seen some hard times

Drawn some fine lines

No time for shoeshines

And hard nose the highway

I was tore down at the dead's place

A shaved head at the organ

But that wasn't half as bad as it was, oh no

Belfast and Boston

Seen some hard times

Drawn some fine lines

No time for shoeshines

Hard nose the highway

Put your money where your mouth is

Then we can get something going

In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime

And leave one or two cards showing[Chorus]

Seen some hard times

Drawn some fine lines

No time for shoeshines

And hard nose the highway

(Sing it again)

Seen some hard times

Drawn some fine lines

No time for shoeshines

Hard nose the highway

Further on up the road

Further on up the road

It may not be today

It may, it may be tomorrow

So if you live for today

Gotta keep in mind

It may be tomorrow

Yeah, further on up the road

Further on up, further on up

Further on up, further on up, further on up, further on

Up the road

This may help the hard nose

And hard nose the highway, yeah

Hard nose the highway, yeah

Sometimes gotta hard nose the highway, yeah

Hard nose the highway

Hard nose the highway

Further on, further on, further on up the road

I know you paid your dues in Canada

I know you paid your dues in Canada

But you just may, you just may have to hard nose

I hope not, I hope not but you just may have to

I hope not, I hope not but you just may have to

Hard nose the highway

Hard nose the highway

Yeah, yeah
