Lyrics

Well, here I am in the wind again Floatin' where it takes me Laughing and a splashing in the summer sun Until the alarm clock wakes me Then it's coffee and a kiss and two cigarettes And I'm back out in the cold, cold weather Chasing my dream, but I just can't seem To rub two coins together Singin' Life ain't easy (they never said it would be) Life ain't easy (whoever said it should be?) Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free Life ain't easy (tell me all about it) Life ain't easy (no, no, no, no) Life ain't easy, and nothin' comes free, for you or me That woman, she don't understand The way my mind keeps driftin' And the Lord don't always lend a hand When my poor heart needs liftin' Is home and kids really all there is Or is there somethin' better? And how much soul must a poor man sell To rub two coins together? (Don't you know that) Life ain't easy? (No, no, no, no) Life ain't easy (whoever said it would be) Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free (free), free, free, free Life ain't easy (can you hear me?) Life ain't easy (tell me all about it) Life ain't easy, and nothing's free, free, free, free (no, no, no, no) Life ain't easy (just remember, nobody's on their own) Life ain't easy (it's a long road, gonna tell you) Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free (free), free (free), free (free), free (free, free) Life ain't easy (no, no, no, no, no, no) Life ain't easy Life ain't easy And nothing's free
