Hard Out Here

(الألبوم: KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) - 2011)

Well, after all these years of running round
Always flying high and falling down
I gotta get back to the way I was
Gonna turn it 'round just because
And everybody's talking about the shape I'm in
They say "boy, you ain't a poet, just a drunk with a pen"
All over and over, again and again
Lord they don't know about the places I've 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 something I'm missing
My momma told me I should've gone into easy listening
I joined up with the band 'cause I thought it was cool
Oh, probably I should've gone back to school

Oh, pretty darling, 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...

Hard out here, you know it don't seem it
I said I'd but I never did mean it
Nobody's listening so we mine as well scream it
Oh God, we're all outta beer, it gets hard out here
