Life Ain't Easy Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Ray Sawyer/Shel Silverstein) 

Well here I am in the wind again, floating where it takes me 

Laughin' and a soaking' in the summer sun, until the alarm clock awakes me 

Then it's coffee and a wish and two cigarettes, and I'm back out in the cold, cold weather 

Chasin' my dream but I just can't seem to rub two coins together 

(Sing it) 

Life ain't easy, they never said it would be 

Life ain't easy, whoever said it should be 

Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free 

Life ain't easy, tell me all about it 

Life ain't easy, no, no, no, no 

Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me 

Some people they don't understand, the way my mind keeps mixin 

And the Lord don't always lend a hand, when my poor heart needs fixin 

Is home and kids really all there is, or is there something better? 

And how much soul must a poor man sell to rub two coins together?
