MydDaddy died when I was real young Momma went off with each setting sun Times were tough but we always got by I learned to cheat and steal by the time I was five I'm old enough but its the same thing you know Hard come, easy go Breakin' my back for the man every day Boy done grief for the minimum wage It adds up to something that's the living I know But the boy up and comes Lord I watch it go But my whole hard life has been the same thing you know Hard Come, Easy Go Sometimes I feel like I'm Stuck in a losing game When the fellow gets round things are just the same All kinds of women in the whole wide world They rock it once, like a tilt a whirl You get what you stake, the hardest part of the game But still you got to try to catch the one just the same My whole hard life has been the same thing you know Hard come, easy go Hard come, easy go
