Lyrics Keith Whitley

Keith Whitley

Hard Livin'

Well you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol

Cause there's a fool on the road careenin' out of control

Hard liquor fast women I just can't let 'em be

Lord I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me

Well I keep my motor runnin' got my beer on the ice

And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice

Seven come on eight set this poor boy free

Lord I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me

Bright lights Saturday night I had a couple and I'm feeling alright

My cupcake she can wiggle and shake spend more money than anybody make

So give me a shot of that octane juice

You know where ain't no cure for the honky tonk blues

And if they come up with somethin' I'll develop an immunity

And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

Out on the town just a foolin' around

Hey I got my mind on the lost and found

Step up no need to be shy

All right pretty women you got the ticket to ride

When my tires are flat and I'm out of gas

I promise myself I'll let the next one pass

Lord I wish that a promise didn't break so easily

And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

Hey I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
