Hard Livin’ Lyrics by Joe Ely

Musta Notta Gotta Lotta

0

[Verse 1]
You can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
There's a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, Lord, I can't leave 'em be
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me
[Verse 2]
I keep my engine revin' and my beer on ice
My idea of heaven is a pair 'a dice
Come on seven, come eleven, set this poor boy free!
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me
[Bridge]
Bright lights, Saturday night
Had a couple, I'm feelin' all right
My cupcake, wiggle and shake
Spend more money 'n any fool can make
[Verse 3]
So give me a shot of that octane juice
There ain't no cure for the honky tonk blues
If they come up with somethin', I'll develop an immunity
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Bright lights, Saturday night
Had a couple, I'm feelin' all right
My cupcake, wiggle and shake
Spend more money 'n any fool can make
[Verse 4]
When my tires are flat and I'm out of gas
I promise myself I'll let the next one pass
I wish that a promise didn't break so easily
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me
