Well I’ve been told now that hard times are passing
they come so fast these days and hardly go away
I try to keep on but days go too slowly
I should have seen it coming a long time ago
Long before it was known what brought you home
Since you’ve been absent well everyone’s been asking
Are troubles far gone are you getting on better off this way
I said yeah I try to keep on but it seems that he don’t know me
Cause I ain’t go no need for such a shallow creek
or a hollow man floating in the deep
You can run from all the things that you fear
We don’t worry about you now since you ain’t here
So when you go home and you feel forever lonesome
it’s been a long time coming
You better keep on running
It comes and goes although I wish it could remain
People say that they never change but you know they always do
The wind ain’t so strong when I’m left out to dry
It gets hard to get along but I’m always getting by
It’s a fine line between a heart and a mind
Well I do believe that all these hard times are passing
Cause they tend to leave each time that you do the same
Well you can keep on but plan on falling through
Or you can be gone if it’s a selfless thing to do
But helpless is the man that can’t be true
You can run from all the things that you fear
We don’t worry about you now since you ain’t here
So when you go home and feel forever lonesome
It’s been a long time coming
You better keep on running
Well it’s been a long time coming
You better keep on running
