Walk Hard (Theme)

drumkit - gerald dowd
bass guitar - mike fredrickson
electric guitar and organ - scott ligon
vocal and acoustic guitar - robbie fulks

An attempt at a title track for the movie of the same name. The instructions were: uptempo, not real jokey but more resembling an plausible hit song of the era, not much like Johnny Cash, and using the lyrics "It's a long long road" etc. I am not so awfully proud of this composition. I do love the groove and the playing.

Lyrics

When they say it can’t be done
When they say you’re not the one
When the road’s too rocky by far
When your wheels up and refuse
Don’t drown yourself in blues
Strap on your walking shoes
Walk hard

When the mountain looks steep
And the gravel burns your feet
And your spirit feels stepped on and scarred
Heed what they said in school
The easy way’s for fools
With two legs you can’t lose
Walk hard

BRIDGE:
It’s a long long road
It’s a hard hard walk
Walk hard
Walk hard

My Daddy hoped and prayed
That I’d settle down someday
But my eyes were set beyond my backyard
From that patch of dust and tears
A shining path appeared
And a voice came to my ears:
"Walk hard."

Now stranger, hear my words
If you feel the wandering urge
Then a quiet life is just not in the cards
Your journey’s end, God knows
You stumble as you grow
And you’ve got miles to go
Walk hard

BRIDGE
