<b>Chely Wright & Brad Paisley / Hard To Be A Husband, Hard To Be A Wife</b> by <i>Brad Paisley And Chely Wright</i><br />

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard somebody say

How come some guy, some handsome prince, hasn't swept you away

But I take off on that tour bus, a different city every night

And doing what I love to do makes it hard to be a wife

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've been asked that myself

Folks can't understand why a heart like mine is still on the shelf

But I'm married to my music and I have been most my life

That makes it hard to be a husband

It makes it hard to be a wife

Cause I'd rather play the Grand Ole Opry

Than go out to dinner and a movie

Right now I'm not thinkin' bout a family of my own

Cause the band's on stage and I'm late for my show

There's folks who think my life is lacking

Cause my time at home is usually spent packing

You might assume that I don't' have a clue what love's about

Oh, but I know love

Of that I have no doubt

Cause you wouldn't believe the way it feels to hear somebody say

Your song sure means a lot to me

It got me through a real tough day

And if hearing words like that means giving up my social life

Then I've got all the friends I need on that front row

And I've got all the friends I need on that back row

And we can't see those folks unless we're never home

And that makes it hard to be a wife

And hard to be a husband

And hard to be a wife
