Hard Livin' (live) [Mercury Lounge]

Well When I was 19 well I hit that road - I really had no idea

About the women and booze and the smoke and the blues and the white lines in

That mirror

Well There's was a short time I didn't think I'd survive but I'm starting to see through that

Haze

Well now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

Well I turned 23 it got easy for me - To sweep up the hair of that dog

Learned tabout the booze and the smoke kills the blues and the white

Lines can clear that fog

Momma started to worry I was too big in a hurry. Hell daddy even started to pray

Lord now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

Well now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

A lot like momma and daddy don't think I should be Livin my life this way

But these people like my songs and they drink and sing along

If the weather is good make hay

Lord now this hard livin's gettin easier every day

Well Now I'm 32 and it might seem to you that I smell like whiskey and need a

Shave

But my liver's made of leather and I've never felt better and I've got no reason to

Change

Ol Kieth Whitley said it best so I put it to the test and I think I feel the same way

Well now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

Well now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

A lot like momma and daddy don't think I should be Livin my life this way

But these people like my songs and they drink and sing along

If the weather is good make hay

Well Lord now this hard livin's gettin easier every day

Well now this hard livin's gettin easier everyday

A lot like momma and daddy don't think I should be Livin my life this way

But these people like my songs and they drink and sing along

If the weather is good make hay

Well Lord now this hard livin's gettin easier every day

I said now this hard livin's gettin easier every day
