Eddie Money - Hard Life lyrics

It ain't easy People talk I don't care what they say In the long run Gonna do it my way Had some breaks Paid for my mistakes Lord knows I've had my share Of heartaches Now I've learned to see What my daddy always tried to tell me It's a hard life Living on your own It ain't easy So far from home It's a hard life And it's lonely, too When you trying to find a friend or two To stand by you Said it wasn't easy The simple dreams I never understood Local boy Trying to make it good Take my life I tried to calculate it The price I paid I underestimated Late at night in bed I think of what my momma said It's a hard life Living on your own Things are never easy When you're far from home It's a hard life And it's lonely, too When you're trying to find a friend or two To stand by you You go where you want Don't let them tie you down Do what you want Can't let them push you 'round It's never, never easy Oh, oh, oh Now and then The road, it gets tough It's a struggle Just to get enough It's a hard life And it takes its toll Before his time A man grows old It's a hard life And it's lonely, too When you're looking for a friend or two To stand by you, yeah It ain't easy Oh, oh, oh It's a hard life Living on your own Said it wasn't easy When you're far from home It's a hard life And it's lonely, too You're looking for a friend or two They'd be standing next to you Said it's never easy
