Easy's Gettin' Harder Every Day

(альбом: My Life - 1994)

Standing barefoot on a cold wood floor
Looking out the window of my back door
If it keeps on raining I think the whole damn house is gonna float away
The alarm was buzzing at the break of dawn
My husband's asking, "Is the coffee on?"
And easy's getting harder every day

I'll drop the baby off at school at nine
And bust the lights to get to work on time
Where I'll be staring at the clock just waiting to knock off another day
When supper's done we'll watch some TV show
Of a bunch of folks who've never heard of Idaho
Where easy's getting harder every day

I had a garden but my flowers died
There ain't much living here inside
Lately, I don't know what I'm holding on to
Wished I could run away to Coeur d'Alene
Take nothing with me, not even my name
'Cause easy's getting harder every day

We make love and then we kiss goodnight
He rolls over and he's out like a light
But I ain't mad about it, we got nothing to talk about anyway
The lights are blinking on the radio tower
And I lie awake and stare at them for hours and hours
'Cause easy's getting harder every day

I had a garden but my flowers died
There ain't much living here inside
And lately, I don't know what I'm holding on to
But I'll never make it up to Coeur d'Alene
There ain't no chance of me forgetting my name
And easy's getting harder every day
And it feels like easy just keeps on getting harder every day
