I Used to Think It Was Easy

When the sun's too hot, and my old man's not

Well I stumble outside the door

And I'm asking myself if I haven't been through all this

To darn many times before

I gave up singing my half done songs

When the money ran out before the rhymes

And I gave up loving my one sided lungs

When I couldn't believe in them lies

I used to think it was easy honey

I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life

I used to think it was easy honey

I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life

Well the night's far along, my old man's out somewhere gone

And I'm thinking it's time for me to go

I never loved him like he wanted me to

That's something he must already know

Look the night is cold, my shoes are old

And I don't much like the rain

And his bed's much softer, and the road is long

So I might stay on it then

I used to think it was easy honey

I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life

I used to think it was easy honey

I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life

I used to think it was easy honey

Yeah, I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life

I used to think it was easy honey

I used to think it was alright

I used to think it was simple enough

Till scratching my way became my way of life
