Hard Life

[Verse 1]
18 wheels rolling
Sure make a lonely sound
You're wishing those lights ahead
Were the lights of your hometown
One last run and I can't wait
To lay there by your side
It ain't easy
Lord, it ain't easy

[Verse 2]
When I'm a hundred miles from nowhere
With a hundred more to go
Rain's pouring down
And I can barely see the road
Nothing but those white lines
Staring back at me
It ain't easy
Lord, it ain't easy

[Chorus]
But if I take 65
I'll be in Birmingham by tonight
New Orleans by Sunday
I'll be holding her tight
But come Monday morning
I'll be saying goodbye
It's a damn hard life
But it's my life

[Verse 3]
One more cup of coffee
To catch my second wind
Top off the tank, check the tires
Hit the road again
Nothing but my radio
To keep me company
It ain't easy
Lord, it ain't easy

[Chorus]
But if I take 65
I'll be in Birmingham by tonight
New Orleans by Sunday
I'll be holding her tight
But come Monday morning
I'll be saying goodbye
It's a damn hard life
But it's my life

[Outro Chorus]
But come Monday morning
I'll be saying goodbye
It's a damn hard life
But it's my life
Lord, it ain't easy, mm-hmm
It's my life
