Hard Earned Country Livin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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'...
It's a hard earned country livin'...
It's a hard earned country lovin' and I'm livin' to love her tonight
