Chris Filer - When It Don't Come Easy lyrics

rate me

Tony Wood/Danny Myrick

A candy apple mustang at Hot Rod Charlie’s used car lot

I knew I had to have her, ‘cause she already had my heart

So all summer long by the sweat of my brow

I bucked hay ‘til the sun went down

When I got the keys – it was time well spent -

‘Cause I finally knew what my daddy meant

CHORUS

I’ve heard it said a hundred times before

While others only dream, the winners work for their reward

So you just give it all you’ve got, ‘cause it means so much more

When it don’t come easy

I fell for Jenny Thompson, the brand new girl in town,

Everybody said her mama and dad don’t want no boys around

So I sent her mama some flowers and a card

Surprised her daddy when I mowed the yard

Jenny said, please, they said ‘yes’

Her daddy even gave us money for gas

The two of us went riding on the Fourth of July

We stood down by the river & watched the

Fireworks paint the sky

A man stood talkin’ ‘bout his purple heart

And how a million others did their part

In the name of freedom they took their stand

From the revolution to the desert sand
