Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s gone cold in a chipped-up cup
Paycheck’s late and the rent’s backed up
Boss man barking through a cracked screen phone
Trailer door rattles like it might let go
[Chorus]
Don’t let the hard days win, my friend
Lean on the bar, then stand again
Spit that dust right off your grin
Don’t let the hard days win, don’t let the hard days win
[Verse 2]
Tires held on with a prayer and wire
Gas tank’s low, but your heart’s on fire
Mama’s old Bible on the dashboard glass
Page marked “this too shall pass”
[Chorus]
Don’t let the hard days win, my friend
Lean on the bar, then stand again
Spit that dust right off your grin
Don’t let the hard days win, don’t let the hard days win
[Bridge]
Yeah, they’ll knock you to your knees (oh yeah)
Steal your sleep, your pay, your peace
But you’re meaner than the mess you’re in
Light a smoke, say it again
[Chorus]
Don’t let the hard days win, my friend
Lean on the bar, then stand again
Spit that dust right off your grin
Don’t let the hard days win, don’t let the hard days win

country, Outlaw country grit with male vocals, brushed snare and twangy telecaster, upright bass walking under a slow two-step. Verses stay low and dusty, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a bright lap steel answering the vocal. Middle eight leans into a half-time stomp and shout before kicking back to full drive for a final, defiant hook., outlaw country
