Hard Luck Town
(Gayle Ackroyd)
(Labour Of Love ) Hard Luck Town
Gayle Ackroyd (Ack-rack)
I feel like I’m going no where
Against a hard driving wind blowing south
The longer I stay in this northern town
The harder it is to get out
The one thing I’ve got is passion
But is it ever gonna be enough
To try your very hardest
And still not give it up
It’s a labour of love in these hard times
Day by day falling farther behind
A hard working woman in a hard luck town
Girl don’t you let it get you down
I feel like I’m drowning in quicksand
No way out but to sink or swim
The harder I try to get myself out
The deeper I slip in
Just before I start to go under
A stranger throws out a line
Finds it in his heart to pull me out in time
It’s a labour of love in these hard times
Day by day falling farther behind
A hard working woman in a hard luck town
Girl don’t you let it get you down
There’s a whole lot of truth to the madness
Created from a lack of sleep
We’re doing what we gotta do
And the days roll into weeks
Works getting harder to come by
But I know I will survive
Time becomes more precious
The longer we’re alive
It’s a labour of love in these hard times
Day by day falling farther behind
A hard working woman in a hard luck town
Girl don’t you let it get you down
Girl don’t you let it get you down
