Ross Wilson: Music
Hell Of A Time
The original version of this song was done as a slowish laid back duet between myself & Jimmy Barnes on 'Flesh & Wood', his platinum 1993 acoustic outing. This time I'm rocking it with those Nashville cats on my 2010 'I Come In Peace' album.
HELL OF A TIME DON’T ASK ME ‘BOUT THE THINGS I’VE DONE CAN’T TELL YOU WHO LOST OR WON ALL I KNOW IS I HAD A HELL OF A TIME DON’T ASK ME ‘BOUT WHERE I’VE BEEN I CAN’T EXPLAIN THE THINGS I’VE SEEN BUT I CAN TELL YOU I HAD A HELL OF A TIME I BOUGHT A TICKET AND I TOOK THE RIDE NOW I CAN’T GET OFF THOUGH HEAVEN KNOWS I’VE TRIED & TRIED YOU SEE IT WRITTEN ON MY FACE A TOUCH OF GRIEF, A BRUSH WITH GRACE YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY EYES I’VE HAD A HELL OF A TIME GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR CAN’T COMPLAIN ITS TRUE, YOU CANNOT KNOW REAL PLEASURE WITHOUT PAIN DON’T TRY TO CHANGE MY DESTINY OR TELL ME WHAT IS BEST FOR ME IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE I HAD A HELL OF A TIME A HELL OF A TIME Written by Ross Wilson & Eris O’Brien c. 1993 / 2009 Mushroom Music
