| Now the clock says it’s time
|
| Rise and smell the daily grind, no breaking free
|
| Another day, hedge and bets
|
| All this work is gonna get the best of me
|
| Such a hard life
|
| And you pull the shades, make me smile
|
| Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
|
| Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
|
| Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright
|
| Hurry up, talk the talk, say 'yes sir' when you wanna walk
|
| And bite you tongue
|
| You tell yourself, you’re paying due
|
| The trouble is you know the truth, you ain’t that young
|
| It’s a hard life
|
| And you pull the shades, make me smile
|
| Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
|
| Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
|
| Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright, yes it is
|
| Baby, let me tell you what
|
| Gotta let this hard life stuff
|
| Gotta let it go, let it go
|
| Right on by us
|
| And you pull the shades, make me smile
|
| Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
|
| Hear you say, oh, let’s stay in bed a little while longer
|
| Outside, it’s a hard life, yes it is, baby
|
| Outside, it’s a hard life, oh, but that’s alright
|
| Oh, yes it is, ooh |
