Текст песне : Shel Silverstein. Life Ain't Easy.

Well, here I am in the wind again
Floating where it takes me
Laughing and splashing in the summer sun
Until the alarm clock awakes me.

Then it's coffee and a kiss and two cigarettes
And I'm back out in the cold, cold weather,
Chasing my dream but I just can't seem
To rub two coins together.

CHORUS:
Life ain't easy [They never said, it would be]
Life ain't easy [Whoever said it should be]
Life ain't easy
And nothing comes free...
Life ain't easy [Tell me all about it]
Life ain't easy [No, no, no, no]
Life ain't easy
And nothing comes free... for you or me.

That woman, she don't understand
The way my mind keeps driftin'
And the Lord don't always lend a hand
When my poor heart needs liftin'.

Is home and kids really all there is,
Or is there something better?
And how much soul must a poor man sell
To rub two coins together?

Don't you know that...

CHORUS:
Life ain't easy [No, no, no, no]
Life ain't easy [Whoever said it would be]
Life ain't easy
And nothing comes free, free, free, free...
Life ain't easy [Can you hear me)
Life ain't easy [Tell me all about it]
Life ain't easy
And nothing's free, free, free, free...
Life ain't easy
Life ain't easy
Life ain't easy...
[... until fading out]
