I Used To Think It Was Easy

[Verse 1]
When the sun is hot, and my old lady's not
I just fall out my door
You know, I've been asking myself a long time
Pain, I've been through all this before
I gave up singin' (Singin') my half-done songs
When the money ran out before the rhyme (Before the rhyme)
And I gave up lovin' the one side of love
When I could not believe their lies

[Chorus]
Oh, I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

[Verse 2]
Well, the night has fallen long, and my old lady's gone
And I'm thinkin' it's time for me to go
You know I haven't loved her like she's wanted me to
But that's something she already knows
The night air is cold, and my shoes are soaked
And I don't much enjoy the rain
And her bed's a lot softer than the road is hard
So I may hang on a few more days

[Chorus]
Oh, I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

Oh, I used to think it was easy, honey (Easy)
I used to think it's alright (Alright)
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

Let me tell you, I used to think it was easy, honey (Easy)
I used to think it's alright (Alright)
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

Let me put it this way, I used to think it was easy, honey (Easy)
Honey, didn't I use to think it's alright? (Alright)
