Hard Bargain Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

I'm a bit run down 

But I'm okay 

I just feel like calling it a day 

But you send me back to the start 

You drive a hard bargain 

Each time I'm heading 

For nowhere 

Doomed and determined to go there 

It seems I never get far 

'Cause you drive a hard bargain 

How's a guy supposed to fail 

With someone like you around 

I've tried and tried 

To no avail 

You just can't seem to let me down 

You drive a hard bargain 

So I'll keep on playing 

That old song 

'Cause for all I know 

It's where I belong 

When the world is breaking my heart 

You drive a hard bargain 

You send me back to the start 

You drive a hard bargain 

I'm a bit run down 

But I'm okay
