Life was
rough on the lone prairie,
we didn't have it made.
The northern winds
brought the cold snow flurry,
and brought us close to the grave.
You carried our child
through the warm spring thaw
An d if all went well,
you'd be a mother come the fall
We had hard times coming
with twisters on the ground
We had tumbleweeds running
and they would almost knock you down
We would hide beneath the
storm cellar's door
And without you there,
I couldn't take it anymore
We had hard times comin'
But with your lovin', we made it alright
The river swelled
till the flash floods raged,
washing out the plains.
The cottonwood stood
with strength of age,
and like the trees we remained.
It takes a true woman
who believes in her man
To stand at his side
while he's strugglin' for his land
We had hard times comin'
with sandstorms all around
We had prairie hay burnin',
our house burnin' to the ground.
Oh, the hardships never did seem to end,
but when I'd fall down,
you'd pick me right back up again.
We had hard times coming,
but with your loving, we made it all right.
We had hard times com ing,
but with your loving,
we made it all right.
You
