(A Hard Way To Make An) Easy Livin’ Lyrics by Garth Brooks

FUN

2020

[Intro]
That's what I'm talkin'
Ahh
[Verse 1]
Yeah, it all looked simple when I saw him pickin' on TV
So I borrowed daddy's guitar and I bought myself a used Peavey
Yeah I learned a couple chords and I called a couple friends
Got ourselves a gig down at the Dew Drop Inn
But they started throwin' beer and fried our equipment
And it's a hard way to make an easy livin'
[Verse 2]
Well, we got a little better and the dates started pourin' in
And the groupies got hotter and it bothered all of our girlfriends
Then somе half-naked hottie hopped up on thе stage
Followed by the lead picker's fiance
And a few minutes later she told us he was quittin' (uh, yeah he's done)
And it's a hard way to make an easy livin'
[Chorus]
Yeah, it might look greener on the other side
Peakin' at it over your fence
But once you're in it you'll realize
Somethin' 'bout it don't make sense
[Verse 3]
So we made ourselves a video and stuck it on CMT
And our lawyer told us all we'd be haulin' in the royalties
It made a whole hundred grand but he billed us half a million
And it's a hard way to make an easy livin'
(That's right)
[Piano & Guitar Solos]
[Chorus]
Yeah, it might look greener on the other side
Peakin' at it over your fence
But once you're in it you'll realize
Somethin' about it don't make sense
[Verse 4]
Now we all feel lucky 'cause we're doing what we love to do
And we hope you'll come and see us
When we're playin' at a place near you
But we might need a ride just to get to where we're pickin'
'Cause it's a hard way to make an easy livin'
Yes, it's a hard way to make an easy livin'
To make this easy livin', hey now
