It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyI've heard some people say
John had some easy pay
You just party all night
Till the mornin' light
And then you sleep all dayCome on and ride with us
Step on that magic bus
We'll all just act like stars
Play the honky tonk bars
I'll show you why I sayIt's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyHey, son, I paid my dues
Worn out my cowboy shoes
Played these old guitar strings
Till I could make 'em sing
And learn to moan the blues, yeah LordI've seen the price of fame
Lost friends along the way
I've seen the stars burn out
And fall from the sky
While others fade awayYeah, it's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyNow off to another town
Ain't no slowin' down
Sometimes it gets so deep
That I swear I might drownWell, it's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyHard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyIt's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy moneyTo make easy money
