A Hard Road Lyrics by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

A Hard Road

1967

[Verse 1]
I let a life slip through my fingers
Where am I gonna turn?
I'm the causing of the trouble
That makes my heart burn

[Chorus]
I been tryin' to tell you people
That the blues hit me in my life
You know I was born for trouble
And it's a hard road till I die

[Verse 2]
I've loved and lost so many women
The cause of many broken heart
Drank and drifted through the years
And watched my family fall apart

[Chorus]
I been tryin' to tell you people
That the blues hit me in my life
You know I was born for trouble
And it's a hard road till I die

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna pack up my suitcase
Put my misery inside
Throw in a bit of pain and trouble
And that's the road I'll ride

[Chorus]
I been tryin' to tell you people
That the blues hit me in my life
You know I was born for trouble
And it's a hard road till I die
