It Ain't About Easy

(专辑： Back When I Knew It All - 2008)

[Verse 1:]
He said beer works but liquor's quicker
And he shot down that whiskey straight
He said I ain't no one but the secret is son
You gotta get out of your own way
I said my job sucks,I got a broke-down truck
And I feel like I'm spinning my wheels
As the pool balls clicked he pulled a lucky from his lips
And said son here's the deal

[Chorus:]
This ain't about easy it's about tough
It's about leaving the house before the sun comes up
The kickin, the cussin, the fussin, the fightin
Stayin in love when the money gets tight
When you start in this world with a wide-eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing it ain't about easy

[Verse 2:]
He looked at me from underneath his BFW cap
He said you're young and green and full of dreams
What I wouldn't give for that
I said yea, but you know I ain't thirty years old
And I feel like I've run out of breath
He said welcome to life son, and you ain't alive
If you ain't breaking a sweat

[Chorus:]
This ain't about easy it's about tough
It's about leaving the house before the sun comes up
The kickin, the cussin, the fussin, the fightin
Stayin in love when the money gets tight
When you start in this world with a wide-eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing it ain't about easy

[Verse 3:]
Well I payed his tab and told him I was going home
He said son, just remember the highs are higher than the low, the low

[Chorus:]
This ain't about easy it's about tough
It's about leaving the house before the sun comes up
The kickin, the cussin, the fussin, the fightin
Stayin in love when the money gets tight
When you start in this world with a wide-eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing it ain't about easy

It ain't about easy
