It Ain't Easy

by Johnny Paycash

I woke up with a dog licking on my face

Grabbed a chair and climbed up to my knees

My jeans were out of money and my jaw was out of place

Lord, it ain’t easy being me

      * * * * * *

No, it ain’t easy being me

Sometimes I think I’m only here to see

Just how low and foolish one silly ass can be

Lord, it ain’t easy being me

* * * * * *

I never knew that woman was the bongo player’s wife

And he owned a martial arts academy

It cost two teeth and a broken nose

It almost cost my life

Lord it ain’t easy being me

I’m in these bushes pickin' for some empties I tossed here

Must have thrown a hundred, I found three

Still six bits short of stickin’ my mustache in a beer

Lord it ain’t easy being me

* * * * * *

Lord it ain’t easy being me

I picked the winner in the lottery

Washed the ticket with my laundry

Came out white as white could be

Lord it ain’t easy being me
