Hayes Carll - Hard Out Here lyrics

rate me

well after all these years of running round

always flying high and flying down

i gotta get back to the way i was

gonna turn it all 'round just because

and everybody's talkin about the shape im in

they say "boy, you aint a poet, just a drunk with a band."

all over and over, again and again,

Lord they dont know about the places ive been

it gets hard out here

i know it dont 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 something i'm missing

my momma told me i shouldve gone into easy listening

going with the band cause i thought it was cool

oh good Lord i shouldve gone back to school

oh pretty darlin it'll be ok

you know one of these days im gonna take you away

she said, "oh sweet daddy, youre probably right,

you know we might get lucky but it wont be tonight"

it gets hard out here

i know it dont 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

it gets hard out here

i know it dont seem it

i said i tried but i never did mean it

nobody's listening so we mine as well scream it

oh God we're all outta bed

it gets hard out here
