Hard Livin' - Joe Ely

Well 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

I wish hard livin' didn’t come so easy to me

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!

I wish hard livin' didn’t come so easy to me

Bright lights, Saturday night

I had me a little you know I feel all right

My cupcake, she can shimmy and shake

Spends more money any fool can make

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

I wish hard livin' didn’t come so easy to me
