Lyrics for Hard Life

And it's a hard life For a man with no wife Baby, it's a hard life God makes you live But without it Don't doubt it You don't even have Your tears to give I wake up and I'm fine With my dreamings still on my mind But it doesn't take long, you see For the demons to come and visit me And I've got my problems Sometimes love don't solve them And I end each day in a song And it's a hard life For a man with no wife Lord, it's a hard life God makes you live But without it Baby don't doubt it You don't even have Your tears to give I know I'm a hard man To live with sometimes Maybe it ain't in me To make you a happy wife of mine And maybe you'll kill me Honey I don't blame you If I were in your place Maybe that's what I would do But I ain't breathing Let me breath Let me go Let me leave I don't know But I might lose I might bum I hate to blow a fuse So let me go Lay down On my own Let me drown Let me go Go where you don't know
