hayes carll
hard out here
After all these years of runnin' 'round All this flying high and falling down I gotta get back to the way I was Gonna turn it 'round darlin' just because And everybody's talkin' 'bout 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 get's 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 get's hard out here  Ah, I guess there must be something I'm missin' My mama told me I should've gone into easy listenin' Joined up with a band 'cause I thought it was cool Lord I probably should've just gone back to school Ah pretty darlin' it'll be okay 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 get's 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 make it perfectly clear, it get's hard out here  I know it don't seem it I said I tried but I never did mean it Nobody's listening so we might as well scream it Oh God we're all out of beer It get's hard out here
