Lyrics Hard livin' Keith Whitley

Hard livin'


Well, you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
'Cause there's a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me

Well, I keep my motor running, 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 living didn't come so easy for me

Bright lights, Saturday night
Well, I musta had a couple, I'm a-feeling 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 something, I'll develop an immunity
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come easy for me

Out on the town just a-fooling 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 living didn't come so easy for me
Hey, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
