[00:13.90]After all these years of running 'round
[00:18.44]Always flying high and falling down
[00:23.16]I gotta get back to the way I was
[00:27.78]Gonna turn it all 'round just because
[00:31.82]And everybody's talking about the shape I'm in
[00:35.94]They say, "Boy, you ain't a poet, just a drunk with a band"
[00:40.86]All over and over, again and again
[00:45.24]Lord, they don't know about the places I've been
[00:49.46]It gets hard out here,
[00:52.03]I know it don't look it
[00:54.26]I used to have heart but the highway took it
[00:58.65]The game was right but the deal was crooked
[01:03.19]Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
[01:25.33]I guess there must be something I'm missing
[01:29.69]My momma told me
[01:31.03]I should've gone into easy listening
[01:34.58]Going with the band 'cause I thought it was cool
[01:38.49]Oh good Lord,
[01:40.39]I should've gone back to school
[01:43.09]Oh, pretty darling, it'll be okay
[01:47.09]You know one of these days
[01:49.22]I'm gonna take you away
[01:51.32]She said, "Oh sweet daddy, you're probably right
[01:56.07]You know we might get lucky but it won't be tonight"
[02:00.46]It gets hard out here,
[02:03.15]I know it don't look it
[02:05.34]I used to have heart but the highway took it
[02:09.51]The game was right but the deal was crooked
[02:14.22]Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
[02:21.04]I know it don't seem it
[02:23.06]I said I tried but I never did mean it
[02:27.62]Nobody's listening so we might as well scream it
[02:32.82]Oh, God, we're all outta beer, it gets hard out here
[02:42.02]
