Pride's Not Hard to Swallow - Hank Williams, Jr.

Pride's Not Hard to Swallow Lyrics

I wish you'd look
Who's crawling back to you
I never thought
I'd live to see todayI swore to you the day I left
This time I'd go for good
And I was even proud enough
To tell myself I couldBut it took a lot of lonely nights
To ever change my mind
It took a lot of missing youth
And things that I'd left behindIntending to keep going
But the going got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enoughI know we won't
Always see eye to eye
But if you'll take me back
This time I'll really trySo many things I could have done
So much I failed to do
I've never needed anyone

As much as I need youAnd it took a lot of lonely nights
To ever change my mind
It took a lot of missing youth
And things that I'd left behindIntending to keep going
But the going it got too rough
And my pride's not hard to swallow
Once I've chewed it long enough
