Long Hard Life

Well, I ain't hurt nobody and ain't nobody hurt me

Until the lawman finds my house & hangs me from a tree

For what I've done

Baby, it's a long hard life

All I got to show is 13 acres of property, three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, who's gonna raise my 'backer

Who's gonna tend my corn

Cause I'll be lyin' in my cell

And my wife ain't been the same since the kids were born

Baby, it's a long hard life

All I got to show is 13 acres of property, three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, I done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail

And I asked my little wife if she would come and go my bail

But she done spent all of my money

Now I'm sitting in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Now I'm in this little bitty trailer

Tryna make a living off a selling ice

But the waters on and the roof don't leak

And kids are warm and the Wi-Fi works just right

All I got to show is 13 acres of property, three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, I done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail

And I asked my little wife if she would come and go my bail

But she done spent all of my money

Now I'm sitting in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Well, there just ain't no damn jobs

You gotta do all that you can

Well, you got to make your money

Raise your youngins like a man

But the hand that used to feed me

Just got shut down by the man

And it's a long hard life
