Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
'Cause there's a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be
Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
[Verse 2]
Well, I keep my motor runnin', got my beer on ice
And my idea of Heaven is a pair of dice
Seven come eleven, set this poor boy free
Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
[Verse 3]
Bright lights, Saturday night
Well, I must have had a couple, I'm a-feelin' alright
My cupcake can shimmy and shake
Spend more money than anybody makes
[Verse 4]
Well, gimme some more high octane juice
You know there ain't no cure, forget your honky tonk blues
If you come up with something, I'll develop an immunity
Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
[Verse 5]
Out on the town, just a-foolin' around
And I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up, no need to be shy
You know that every pretty woman's got a ticket to ride
[Verse 6]
Well, my tires are flat, and now I'm outta gas
I always promised myself I'd let the next one pass
Lord, I wish that that promise didn't break so easily
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
Hey, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
