Hard Life

Now the clock says it’s time
Rise and smell the daily grind, no breaking free
Another day, hedge and bets
All this work is gonna get the best of me
Such a hard life
And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright
Hurry up, talk the talk, say 'yes sir' when you wanna walk
And bite you tongue
You tell yourself, you’re paying due
The trouble is you know the truth, you ain’t that young
It’s a hard life
And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright, yes it is
Baby, let me tell you what
Gotta let this hard life stuff
Gotta let it go, let it go
Right on by us
And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, oh, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it’s a hard life, yes it is, baby
Outside, it’s a hard life, oh, but that’s alright
Oh, yes it is, ooh
