If It Was Easy

I spent half my life down a dead end road This honky tonk living, is all I know I'm a roughneck who's wrote a few songs I gave it all I got to have what's on my back It's a hard-earned dollar when you make your own path Ask my babies I never had my own 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song I've been in some places I never should've gone Did a little bit of right, and a whole lot of wrong I was hell-bound, Lord knows I didn't stand a chance But he sent me an angel who was there all along She's still waiting there right back at home And these other girls, Lord knows I never give 'em a second glance 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song
