Hard World Lyrics by Wade Bowen
Everybody drinks
Everybody smokes
Poppin’ them pills
And a-crackin’ them jokes
Just to get by
Everybody gets high
On the red red wine
Or workin’ all the time
A prayer up above
Or a lover on the side
We’re copin’
Findin’ somethin’ we can hope in
Yeah, it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
It’s a gift that’s given
But it takes its toll
Brother, we better
Leave it better for the children
Yeah, ’cause it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
On a soap box
Or hidin’ in the sand
Ain’t one better
than the other, my friend
They’re different
Ways of dealin’ with it
When your up’s down
And your down’s up
Hell, it’s hard
To tell how much
Too much is
Everybody’s got crutches
Yeah, it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
It’s a gift that’s given
But it takes its toll
Brother, we better
Leave it better for the children
Yeah, ’cause it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
Yeah, it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
It’s a gift that’s given
But it takes its toll
Brother, we better
Leave it better for the children
Yeah, ’cause it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
Yeah, ’cause it’s a hard world
A hard world to live in
