Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Hard Cases

Before gas and TV

Before people had cars

We'd sit 'round the fires

Pass around our guitars

Remembering songs

When my daddy was home

He'd play along

On the spoons and a comb

We'd go with the flow

When the weather was fine

Sometimes we'd go

Collecting scrap iron

And we'd sit 'round the fires

Pass a bottle of wine

In the tales of the road

Since time out of mind

If heaven's like this

Well, that's okay with me

Where the living is fine

And living is free

If heaven's like this

Well, then here's where I'll be

On the edge of the field

On the edge of the world

Before gas and TV
