[Drum Intro]
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
Well, I recall days in the city
And I think back, "Oh what a pity"
Rememberin' how it wasn't pretty
Every day life in the city
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
Out in the street we had to take it
With friends around, couldn't it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hangin' out down in the city
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hangin' out we got arrested
Every day life in the city
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah

The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/{Riff.1] (Until End)
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
