Hard Earned Country Livin’ Lyrics by Mel McDaniel

Naturally Country

1983

Mama's cookin' cornbread daddy's makin' wine
Grandma's shellin' peas and baby sister's cryin'
My brother's on the creek takin' fish on the line
I'm choppin' firewood with my angel on my mind
It's a hard earned country livin' but love makes it all feel right
It's a hard earned country lovin' and I'm livin' to love her tonight
[ guitar ]
Her mama thinks I'm right for her her daddy thinks I ain't
But the angel's on my lovin' side don't care what to thank
I'm gonna see her late tonight if my old trouble crank
We'll dream and love together on our secret river bank
It's a hard earned country livin' but love makes it all feel right
It's a hard earned country lovin' and I'm livin' to love her tonight
It's a hard earned country livin' but love makes it all feel right
It's a hard earned country lovin' and I'm livin' to love her tonight
It's a hard earned country lovin' and I'm livin' to love her tonight
