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
