Lyrics It Ain't Easy Bein' Me - Tommy Castro, Dave Maxwell

It Ain't Easy Bein' Me

Ya know David, I’m tellin you man, it ain’t getting any easier
Come think of it, it never was easy bein me
I know a little ‘bout a lot
I need a lot more of what I haven’t got
I learn everything the hard way, nothin ever came for free
I never paid attention but I always paid the price
I never learned a lesson till I learned it twice
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me
Now there’s a right way and a wrong way
All my short cuts all turned out to be the long way
My way or the highway, that’s the way it had to be
A blind man on the corner is better off than me
Hindsight’s 20/20 and I still refuse to see
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me
If only I had listened when they tried to set me straight
I wouldn’t be a dollar short and a day too late
It could have been so easy, it could have been so sweet
To learn my lessons in the schoolhouse instead of on the street
Now women, they like my kind
It proves love is deaf, and dumb, as well as blind
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy bein me
