Lyrics

Any tough can fight, few can play

Any fool can fall, few can lay

Any stud can reproduce, few can please

Anyone can pay, few can lease

It's hard

It's a hard hand to hold

It's very, very, very hard

(It's a hard land to control) it's very hard

(It's a hard land)

Any man can claim, few can find

Any girl can blink, few can lie

Anyone can promise, few can raise

Anyone can try, but a few can stay

It's hard

It's very, very, very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

It's very, very, very hard

(It's a hard land to control) so very hard

(It's a hard land) it's hard

So hard

Any brain can hide, few can stand

Any kid can fly, few can land

Any gang can scatter, few can form

Any kid can chatter, few can inform

It's hard

It's very, very, very, very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

It's s very, very, very, very hard

(It's a hard land to control) so very hard

(It's a hard hand)

Any soul can sleep, few can die

Anyone can weep, but few can cry

Everyone complains, but a few can stay

Anyone can stop, but a few can wait

It is hard

Very, very, very, very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

It's very, very, very, very hard

(It's a hard land to control) so hard

(It's a hard land)

Anyone can do anythin' if they hold the right card

So I'm thinkin' about my life now

I'm thinkin' very hard

Deal me another hand, Lord

This one's very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

Deal me another hand, Lord

This one's very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

(It's a hard land to control)

(It's a hard land) so hard

(It's a hard land to control) so hard

(It's a hard land)

Deal me another hand, Lord

This one's very hard (it's a hard hand to hold)

Deal me another hand, Lord

This one's very, very hard
