Hard Livin' Life

(album: Western White Pines - 2023)

Well, the age in my face is surely showing today
I'm 25 years young but the grip of time grows stronger each day
It's all of these nights of me singing my heart out on stage
Been putting me through hell
But I've grown to love the flames

And it's give it all you got like it's the last damn night of your life
We got a rowdy country crowd
Let's go kick out the lights
Am I going crazy, or lord was I just born insane
You know what they say, if there ain't no pain, there's no gain
Well man, I've been living pretty hard but hell it's a hard living life
Yeah, I've been living pretty hard
But hell, it's a hard living life

Well, the days come and go but the nights they can last so long
Some drunk on a stool wants to hear an old Waylon song
It's like I'm fading away as I sing "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean"
It's not what I signed up for here in purgatory

And it's give it all you got like it's the last damn night of your life
We got a rowdy country crowd
Let's go kick out the lights
Am I going crazy, or lord was I just born insane
You know what they say, if there ain't no pain, there's no gain
Well man, I've been living pretty hard but hell it's a hard living life
Yeah, I've been living pretty hard
But man, it's a hard living life
