Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw my mother break down in tears
When I was just six years old
Working three jobs to provide the best life
So her kid never felt all alone
Broken and bruised from a world so cruel
But always found the light in the dark
She said, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road
But the best parts of life ain't easy"
[Verse 2]
My Pops did magic tricks to make a quick buck
To buy me my first guitar
From a pawnshop in Chatsworth, where dreams go to die
To be reborn into brighter stars
He made me practice till my fingers bled
But that Gibson, it never let me starve
He said, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road
But the best parts of life ain't easy"
[Bridge]
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
[Verse 3]
I watched my mom and dad meet the Lord young
I wish they would've both had more time
They'll never meet their grandkids, see the first female president
Or walk me on down the aisle
I lost my mind, then I quickly realized
They still live on in this broken heart
And say, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road
But the best parts of life ain't easy"
[Refrain]
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
[Refrain]
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
