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
me
I
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 nud
ity”
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 easi
ly
And I
wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy for
me
