It Ain't Easy Bein' Me - Tommy Castro, Dave Maxwell

Ya know David, I’m tellin you man, it ain’t getting any easier

Come think of it, it never was easy bein me

I know a little ‘bout a lot

I need a lot more of what I haven’t got

I learn everything the hard way, nothin ever came for free

I never paid attention but I always paid the price

I never learned a lesson till I learned it twice

It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me

Now there’s a right way and a wrong way

All my short cuts all turned out to be the long way

My way or the highway, that’s the way it had to be

A blind man on the corner is better off than me

Hindsight’s 20/20 and I still refuse to see

It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me

If only I had listened when they tried to set me straight

I wouldn’t be a dollar short and a day too late

It could have been so easy, it could have been so sweet

To learn my lessons in the schoolhouse instead of on the street

Now women, they like my kind

It proves love is deaf, and dumb, as well as blind

It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me

It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me
