Life Ain't Fair And The World Is Mean Lyrics - High Top Mountain - Sturgill Simpson

Well that label man said son now can you sing a little bit more clear 

Your voice might be too genuine and your song's a little too sincere 

Can you sing a little more about outlaws and the way things used to be 

He told me you just worry about writing them songs leaving everything else to me 

Daddy was a Highwayman but he never wrote any old country songs 

Papaw never stayed out raising hell til the break of dawn 

But he raised a proud coal miners daughter and I'm proud to be her son 

She told me boy I don't care if you hit it big, cause you're already #1 

That's the way it goes in this day & age 

You ain't gotta read between the lines you just gotta turn the page 

Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done was give a good woman a ring 

But that's the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean

Well I still got the wife and the dog but I swapped the truck out for a van 

Gonna hit the road find the end of that long white line in the promise land 

Won't hear my song on the radio cause that new sounds all the rage 

But you can always find me in a smokey bar with bad sound and a dim lit stage
