She won't drive a Cadillac unless it’s new
She says gold is just a place to put my jewel
I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes
This livin’ easy's getting hard to do
My daddy said never spend more than you make
And that advice I've always tried to take
'til the day you walked into the room
Now livin’ easy's getting hard to do
Keep it simple
Man I'm trying
Start out lovin'
End up cryin'
Loan me a dollar
Some common sense
Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets
Put a million in the bank but you need two
Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do
I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues
This livin easy's getting hard to do
Keep it simple
Man I'm tryin'
Start out lovin'
End up cryin'
Loan me a dollar
Some common sense
Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets
Put a tombstone in the back yard one day
Hand carved under my name it will say
Here lies a man who found out far too soon
This livin' easy’s gotten way too hard to do
'Til the day that you walked into the room
This livin easy's getting hard to do
