[Verse 1:]
When the suns too hot, and my old man's not
Well I stumble outside the door
And I'm asking myself if I haven't been through all this
To darn many times before
I gave up singing my half done songs
When the money ran out before the rhymes
And I gave up loving my one sided lungs
When I couldn't believe in them lies
[Chorus:]
I used to think it was easy honey
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
I used to think it was easy honey
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
[Verse 2:]
Well the night's far along, my old man's out somewhere gone
And I'm thinking it's time for me to go
I never loved him like he wanted me to
That's something he must already know
Look the night is cold, my shoes are old
And I don't much like the rain
And his bed's much softer, and the road is long
So I might stay on it then
[Chorus:]
I used to think it was easy honey
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
I used to think it was easy honey
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
[Chorus:]
I used to think it was easy honey
Yeah, I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
I used to think it was easy honey
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratching my way became my way of life
