It's a damn hard way
To make easy money


I've heard some people say
John had some easy pay
You just party all night

Till the mornin' light
And then you sleep all day


Come on and ride with us
Step on that magic bus
We'll all just act like stars

Play the honky tonk bars
I'll show you why I say


It's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way

To make easy money

Hey, son, I paid my dues

Worn out my cowboy shoes
Played these old guitar strings
Till I could make 'em sing

And learn to moan the blues, yeah Lord

I've seen the price of fame

Lost friends along the way
I've seen the stars burn out
And fall from the sky

While others fade away

Yeah, it's a hard way

It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy money


Now off to another town
Ain't no slowin' down

Sometimes it gets so deep
That I swear I might drown


Well, it's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way

To make easy money

Hard way

It's a hard, hard way
It's a damn hard way
To make easy money


It's a hard way
It's a hard, hard way

It's a damn hard way
To make easy money


To make easy money
To make easy money
To make easy money
