Well after all these years of runnin' around
Always flyin' high and fallin' down
I gotta get back to the way I was
gonna turn it all around just because
Everybody's talkin about the shape I'm in
They say boy you aint a poet just a drunk with a pen
All over and over, again and again
Lord they don't know about the places I been
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it
I used to have heart, but the highway took it
The game was right, but the deal was crooked
Lord I'll make it perfectly clear
It gets hard out here!
I guess there must be somethin' - that I'm missin'
My momma told me, I should've gone - easy listenin
Joined up with a band, cuz I thought it was cool
Lord good Lord, I should have gone back to school
Oh pretty darlin it'll be ok,
You know one of these days, I'm gonna take you away
She said, Oh sweet daddy. You're probably right.
You know we might get lucky, but it won't be tonight
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it
I used to have heart, but the highway took it
The game was right, but the deal was crooked
Lord I'll make it perfectly clear
It gets hard out here..
I know it don't seem it
I said I'd try, but I never did mean it
Nobody's listening, we might as well scream it
Oh God we're all out of beer!
It gets hard out here!
