It Ain't About Easy Lyrics

He said, beer works but liquor's quicker
And he shot down that whiskey straight
He said, I ain't no one but the secret is
Son, you gotta get out of your own wayI said, my job sucks
I got a broke down truck
And I feel like I'm spinning my wheels
As the pool balls clicked
He pulled a Lucky from his lips
And said son here's the dealThis ain't about easy, it's about tough
It's about leaving the house 'fore the sun comes up
The kickin', the cussin', the fussin', the fightin'
Stayin' in love when the money gets tightWhen you start in this world
With a wide eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing, it ain't about easyHe looked at me
From underneath his BFW cap
He said, you're young and green
And full of dreams

What I wouldn't give for thatI said yea, but you know I ain't thirty years old
And I feel like I've run out of breath
He said welcome to life son and you ain't alive
If you ain't breakin' a sweatThis ain't about easy, it's about tough
It's about leaving the house 'fore the sun comes up
The kickin', the cussin', the fussin', the fightin'
Stayin' in love when the money gets tightWhen you start in this world
With a wide eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing, it ain't about easyWell, I payed his tab
And told him I was going home
He said son, just remember
The highs are higher than the low, the lowThis ain't about easy, it's about tough
It's about leaving the house 'fore the sun comes up
The kickin', the cussin', the fussin', the fightin'
Stayin' in love when the money gets tightWhen you start in this world
With a wide eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing, it ain't about easy
It ain't about easy
