good times, hard times. I just want some sunshine. but that aint what I find knockin at my door.
mama said ‘baby don’t you get so down when you feel those hard times comin’ around. your papa and me, we didn’t have a dime, just a whole lotta love and now we’re doin’ just fine’
good times, hard times. I just want some sunshine. but that aint what I find knockin at my door.
I said ‘mama wasn’t you so scared when the babies were hungry and the cupboards were bare, no food in the kettle and none in sight. we could hear you cryin’ from our beds that night. and didn’t God listen and didn’t He care? you always worked so hard, never got nowhere. all the years of struggle with nothin’ to show. mama I wanna believe but lately I don’t know.’
good times, hard times. I just want some sunshine. but that aint what I find knockin at my door.
mama said ‘babe I’ve had a real good life. I learned how to live, I learned how to fight. the hard times, they made me strong and brave. I see the good times, hard times as one and the same.
