Adam Graham – A Hard Path

Adam Graham – A Hard Path Lyrics

Artist: Adam Graham
Song: A Hard Path

My good man
I don’t mean you no harm
I didn’t know that there was any life left on this ramshack farm
It seems your field hand done abused your trust

And let your livestock go to skin and bones, and your crops to dust
I can’t blame him
This cold ground gets hard
I’ve had to dig ditch rows along miles of road under actual guard

I can assure you
I’d be a grateful guest
This ball and chain and my cigarettes are all I’ve left
Please forgive my poor appearance

Before I cross the threshold of your door
I know all about decorum
But manners are wasted on the poor
Lest I lead you to think less of my mother

She raised me well
Yeah, I knew the way
But that was a hard path
That was a hard path to walk

Do you really want to sell me out?
I’ve been holed up here in this poor town since the birds flew south
See, my father
He was an insolent drunk

Who in his spare time beat a whole string of wives and the occasional son
So when I saw her bruised
I knew it was his fault
That’s when I snapped and threw that bottle back and brought it down on his skull

His body
It wasn’t fit for the crows
So now my father lays in ashes in our fields, alone
They saw the wrong I did, but what they didn’t see

Were the scars he left on my mother and me
So you can forget you ever saw me
But you don’t have to lie
Or you can kill me here where I stand

And be a hero in their eyes
But if you intend to walk me home to that prison
I will go back
Yeah, I know the way

But that’d be a hard path
That’d be a hard path to walk
