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 him be   Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me      Well, I keep my motor runnin', got my beer on ice   And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice   Seven come on eleven, set this poor boy free   Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me      Bright lights, Saturday night   Well, I musta had a couple, I'm a-feelin' alright   My cupcake can shimmy and shake   Spend more money than anybody makes      Well, gimme some more high octane juice   You know there ain't no cure, forget your honky tonk blues   And if they come up with somethin' I'll develop an immunity   Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me      Out on the town just a-foolin' around   And I got my mind on the lost and found   Step up, no need to be shy   You know that every pretty woman's got a ticket to ride      Well, my tires are flat and now I'm out of gas   I always promised myself I'd let the next one pass   Lord, I wish that that a promise didn't break so easily   And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me   Hey, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
