Bad times, something´s wrong
Money´s gone, I´m on my own
Can´t stay, there´s nothing here
It´s been a hard, hard year

First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn´t work the same
Job´s gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year

I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then I want to die
So I´ve got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself I´m a man

I hope that the bad times are gone
It´s been work, but I think that I´ve won
Now I´m happy
And I´ll never be that way again
No, I´ll never be that way again

Snow´s gone, spring´s here
Won´t happen twice, I´ve seen my way clear
Everyone´s paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year
