I'm on the road for a hundred long days
Makin' money just to pay the rent
I come home and my baby's gone again
You never make like you used to do
Don't even primp or shine your shoes
It's hard times when you're baby's down on you
No milk, no more honey
No squares in the fryin' pan
It's hard times in the broken promise land
Solo
I look down the road up yonder
Strange detour up ahead
It's hard times when you've lost your way
No milk, no more honey
No squares in the fryin' pan
It's hard times in the broken promise land
Solo
You say no, no, no
I'm too tired for love
I say yeah, yeah, yeah
Shake your head and walk away
No milk, no more honey
No squares in the fryin' pan
It's hard times in the broken promise land
No milk, no more honey
No squares in the fryin' pan
It's hard times in the broken promise land
