Hard Way to Make an Easy Living

Some people say he’s a wealthy man

But he built his house with his own two hands

On a piece of land that’s as far as you can see

They call him lucky, but they don’t know

He’s up and running when the rooster crows

And he’s still in the fields with his supper cold

But if you ask me,

It’s a hard hard way to make your way

In a world that don’t care what you pay,

What you earn or what you take,

Or how much you’re not giving

Life’s a tough old row to hoe,

Trust in God with the seeds you sow,

And always know it’s a hard hard way of making easy living

His flatbed it was shiny and new back in 1992

It’s been a few since he had ‘im a year like that

He ain’t got time to complain,

Hay on the ground and it looks like rain and,

Pray it ain’t like the twister that came back in ’88 and laid everything flat

It’s a hard hard way to make your way

In a world that don’t care what you pay,

What you earn or what you take,

Or how much you’re not giving

Life’s a tough old row to hoe,

Trust in God with the seeds you sow,

And always know it’s a hard hard way of making easy living

They take for granted for what he’s planted in that stubborn ground,

But the cattle and the cotton know that they don’t know in town

It’s a hard hard way to make your way

In a world that don’t care what you pay,

What you earn or what you take,

Or how much you’re not giving

Life’s a tough old row to hoe,

Trust in God with the seeds you sow,

And always know it’s a hard hard way of making easy living

Makin’ easy living,

Making easy living.
