Hard Road To Travel

recording of 1976

Come Back Baby (Storyville 8035) 
This life is a hard road to travel, but I know I got to keep on trying 
My life is a hard road to travel, Lord, I know I got to keep on trying 
I try to be a nice to everybody, but my friends seem to leave me by 
They told me love don't love nobody, now they get to leave this story true 
They said don't nobody loves nobody, sometimes I wanna believe that this story is true 
But baby, I wanna have a little faith, you know, I try to put a little faith in you 
Love don't love nobody 
Lord in heaven, you know I try 
Oh baby, you know I have faith and I try 
I can't get no thanks back, all I got to love is my eyes full of tears 
This life is hard, but you just can't go on and give up 
It's a hard road to travel, but you just can't go on, lay down and give up 
Why, you know, you can't turn away, 'cause every man got it all up in a cup
