Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Hard Shoulder

I've got latches for windows

Handles for doors

Grinders and scrapers

And sanders for floors

Rake for the gravel

Chains for the snow

Always got the shovel

You never know

I never thought you'd go

Man's broken down

Man's broken down

On the slip road

Got a slip load

And it's a hard

Shoulder to cry on

Hacksaws and hammers

Brushes and mop

And I've got the ladders

Up on the top

If something needs doing

I always say

You want it done

The proper way

I need you to stay

Man's broken down

Man's broken down

On the slip road

Got a slip load

And it's a hard

Shoulder to cry on

Give me a minute

We'll be going again

Sound as a bell

Right as rain

Right as rain

And it's a hard

Shoulder to cry on

To cry on
