Long Hard Life

Well, I ain't hurt nobody and ain't nobody hurt me

Until the lawman finds my house and hangs me from a tree

For what I've done

Baby, it's a long hard life

And all I got to show is thirteen acres of property

Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, who's gonna raise my backer, who's gonna tend my corn?

'Cause I be lyin' in my cell

And my life ain't been the same since the kids were born

Baby, it's a long hard life

All I got to show is thirteen acres of property

Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Oh, well, I'd done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail

When I asked my little wife if she could come and go my bail

But she done spent all of my money

Now I'm sittin' in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Now I'm in this little bitty trailer, tryna make a livin' off of sellin' ice

But the water's on and the roof don't leak

And the kids are warm, and the Wi-Fi it works just right

And all I got to show is thirteen acres of property

Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, I done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail

And I asked my little wife if she would come and go my bail

But she done spent all of my money

Now I'm sittin' in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Yeah, when there just ain't no damn jobs, gotta do all that you can

Well, you got to make your money, raise your youngins like a man

But the hand that used to feed me just got shut down by the man

And it's a long hard life
