Hard Times
Family Wagon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's fire in your heels
Heaven washed the blood away again, it don't seem so bad
She look for me tonight
Under every neon light
In the hard, hard times
When did the good sorts become bad
You're slow to crawl to answer back, it don't ever last
So file out tonight, under every neon light
In the hard, hard times
I live for love in the hard times
Even if it takes me my whole life
Don't lose sight
In the hard, hard times
My queen don't drag her heels
My queen don't drag her heels
Steppin' small when she slows down, she answers back
I look for you tonight
Under every neon light
In the hard, hard times
I live for love in the hard times
Even if it takes me my whole life
Don't lose sight
In the hard, hard times
I live for love in the hard times
Even if it takes me my whole life
Don't lose sight
In the hard, hard times
In the hard, hard times
The song "Hard Times" is a heartfelt ballad by Family Wagon about pushing through difficult times in life. The lyrics repeat the phrase "There's fire in your heels" to suggest that even in the face of adversity, there is still strength and fight within oneself. The chorus repeats the mantra "I live for love in the hard times, even if it takes me my whole life, don't lose sight" to convey the importance of persevering through tough times and not giving up on what one cares about.
The verses, however, delve deeper into the obstacles and challenges that the singer faces. The lines "Heaven washed the blood away again, it don't seem so bad" suggest that even though painful experiences may occur, it is important to hold onto hope and have a positive outlook. The lines "When did the good sorts become bad, you're slow to crawl to answer back, it don't ever last" indicate a disillusionment with others - that perhaps those who were once good have turned bad and that standing up for oneself is a fleeting endeavor. The bridge of the song is a tender moment between lovers, where the singer affirms that his partner is his "queen" and that they support each other in these hard times.
Overall, "Hard Times" is a powerful song about remaining steadfast in the face of adversity and holding onto the things that matter most in life.
