Poco Medley: Hard Luck/Child's Claim to Fame/Pickin' Up the Pieces [Live] Lyrics

(timothy b. schmit)

Here it comes, another heartache
Bringing me pain and misery
Its peekin round the bend sayin
Hey my friend, sit down, and keep me company.
Always seems to me that
I make the biggest fool and tragedy.
Tellin you this time Im gonna stay in line,
No ones a-gonna bother me.
Think about the times, if you can, and Ill let you
Remember the rhymes that we talked when we were new.
I can recall the days when Id wake up
To find you beside me,
But you could have stayed
stead of takin off that way..

And I cant ever change it
Hard luck is my last name
If I try to rearrange it,
I wished I could, it aint no good
Why do things always turn out just the same?(richie furay)

Well there goes another day
And I wonder why
You and i
Keep telling lies
I cant believe that what you say
cause tomorrows lullaby
Cant passify
My lonesome crying

Well make believe thats all you know
And to make believe is a game
A childs reign
Youve changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
Sin watched you became
Truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh

Somebody yelled out at me (Hey!)
Country music and company kind of makes it
On a Sunday afternoon
Picnic lunches of yesterday
Should still have a place in your heart today
Think it over
'Cause we'll all be goin' home so soon

(Repeat first verse)

If you had the time to stay (uh huh)
Would you sit yourself down and play country music
Singin' songs that we both knew
Lord I know that the day will come
When the both of us will sit down and strum
On our guitars
And you'll ree I really am a lot like you

(Repeat first verse)
(Repeat first verse)
