(Ray Sawyer/Shel Silverstein)
Well here I am in the wind again, floating where it takes me
Laughin` and a splashin` in the summer sun, until the alarm clock awakes me
Then it`s coffee and a kiss and two cigarettes, and I`m back out in the cold, cold weather
Chasin` my dream but I just can`t seem to rub two coins together
(Sing it)
Life ain`t easy, they never said it would be
Life ain`t easy, whoever said it should be
Life ain`t easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain`t easy, tell me all about it
Life ain`t easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain`t easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me
That woman she don`t understand, the way my mind keeps driftin`
And the Lord don`t always lend a hand, when my poor heart needs liftin`
Is home and kids really all there is, or is there something better?
And how much soul must a poor man sell to rub two coins together?
Don`t you know that
Life ain`t easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain`t easy, whoever said it would be
Life ain`t easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain`t easy, can you hear me
Life ain`t easy, tell me all about it
Life ain`t easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain`t easy, tell me all about it
Life ain`t easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain`t easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me
Life ain`t easy
Life ain`t easy...
