Hard Nose the Highway Van Morrison

[Verse 1]
Hey kids, dig the first takes
Ain't that some interpretation?
When Sinatra sings against Nelson Riddle strings
And then takes a vacation

[Chorus]
Seen some hard times
Drawn some fine lines
No time for shoeshines
And hard nose the highway

[Verse 2]
I was tore down at the dead's place
A shaved head at the organ
But that wasn't half as bad as it was, oh no
Belfast and Boston

[Chorus]
Seen some hard times
Drawn some fine lines
No time for shoeshines
Hard nose the highway

[Verse 3]
Put your money where your mouth is
Then we can get something going
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime
And leave one or two cards showing
