Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Hard Bargain

I'm a bit run down, but I'm okay

I just feel like calling it a day

But you send me back to the start

You drive a hard bargain

Each time I'm heading for nowhere

Doomed and determined to go there

It seems I never get far

'Cos you drive a hard bargain

You drive a hard bargain

How's a guy supposed to fail

With someone like you around?

I've tried and tried to no avail

You just can't seem to let me down

You drive a hard bargain

How's a guy supposed to fail

With someone like you around?

I've tried and tried to no avail

You just can't seem to let me down

You drive a hard bargain

You drive a hard bargain

So I'll keep on playing that old song

'Cos for all I know it's where I belong

When the world is breaking my heart

You drive a hard bargain

You send me back to the start

You drive a hard bargain

You drive a hard bargain

I'm a bit run down, but I'm okay
