Well you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
There’s a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, I can’t leave ’em be
Lord, I wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy to meI keep my engine revin’ and my beer on ice
My idea of heaven is a pair ‘a dice
Seven come eleven, set this poor boy free
Lord, I wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy for me
Bright lights, Saturday night
I must’ve had a couple, I’m a-feelin’ all right
My cupcake, can shimmy and shake
Spends more money than anybody makes
Well give me some more high octane juice
You know there ain’t no cure except for honky tonk blues
I come up with somethin’ other than a nudity”
Lord I wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy for me
Instrumental
Out on the town just a foolin around
Hey I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up, no need to be shy
You know every pretty woman’s got a ticket to ride
Well, my tires are flat and I’m out of gas
I always promise myself I’ll let the next one pass
Lord, I wish that a promise didn’t break so easily
And I wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy for me
