	Story Behind the Song Struggling performing artists all go through hard times at one time or another. Written in NYC in an apartment on 57th Street near 8th Ave. One hour for lyrics and music (composed simultaneously). Basic Track in one take with live feel. Real strings, horns and female background singers on 24 tracks in Tony Camillo"s studio in Hillsboro, NJ. Lyrics When I was young I was free. I thought I could get along. The view was really different for me. I thought I was safe from harm. But now my life has changed. I'm paying my dues. Gotta chase away these hard time blues. Livin' in hard times, livin' in hard times yeah. Been livin' in hard times, be livin' in hard times again. I wish I had a dime for each day somebody let me down. Believing in the promises they made, I thought I was glory bound. But now my life has changed, I'm paying my dues. Gotta chase away these hard time blues. I think I'll be here for a while. It's kind of difficult to smile... when you're livin' in hard times livin' in hard times again. Hard times Livin' in hard times. Livin' in hard times yeah. Livin' in hard times. Livin' in hard times yeah. I've been livin' in hard time livin' in hard times again, again.
