It Ain't Easy

It Ain't Easy

It ain't easy loosing half your friends

Thought they'd be there till the bitter end

It ain't easy this growing old

A young man runs when the truth gets told

It ain't easy shaking hands with your past

It ain't easy learning nothing lasts

Sure ain't easy knowing when you've had enough

It's a slap to your face when it's time to give it up

CHORUS

Vision fades soul remains

Even trade along the way

On the unpaved road much unknown

But when I'm all done

And I take my last breath

You can have what's left

It ain't easy to get a good night's sleep

It ain't easy for an honest man to earn his keep

And it hurts my heart to watch a weak man fade away

And never leave his mark and leave this world without a trace

CHORUS

It ain't easy as the years move on

It ain't easy letting go or holding on

Sure ain't easy but you'll always be

Walking the line between want and need

CHORUS

When it's said and done

I lay down to rest

The life I love has no regrets

Cause I know I've had the best

And you can have what's left
