I Used to Think It Was Easy

When the sun's too hot, and my old man's not Well I stumble outside the door And I'm asking myself if I haven't been through all this To darn many times before I gave up singing my half done songs When the money ran out before the rhymes And I gave up loving my one sided lovers When I couldn't believe in their lies I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life Well the night's far along My old man's out somewhere gone And I'm thinking it's time for me to go I never loved him like he wanted me to That's something he must already know Look the night is cold, my shoes are old And I don't much like the rain And his bed's much softer than the road is hard So I might stay on it then I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life I used to think it was easy, honey Yeah, I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough Until scratching my way became my way of life I used to think it was easy, honey I used to think it was alright I used to think it was simple enough
