Hard to Be Content

Hey I watched my father work his ass off everyday
And blow right through a paycheck before it even touched the bank
Buy the things he wanted without giving it a thought
Wound up with a whole garage of half finished Chevy blocks

Hey I watched my mother try to raise me on her own
Spread herself too thin to make this house a proper home
And fall into the trap of buying things we didn't need
Well I guess the spoils of divorce don't come very cheap

Tell me why is it so hard to be content with what we got
I know it ain't a little sure as hell ain't a lot
I could work and fight forever if I only had your love
Well honey that would be enough

Well by now you think I might have learned a thing or two
But I followed in them footsteps now I'm walking in them shoes
Although the pass less traveled and appointed real nice
I can help but notice that it only seems to climb

Hey the good book tells me not to covet what thou have
What thou have looks better than that good book ever had
Although it is a vision and my eyes they will deceive
I should never want for nothing now that you're all that I need

Tell me why is it so hard to be content with what we got
I know it ain't a little sure as hell ain't a lot
I could work and fight forever if I only had your love
Well honey that would be enough

Tell me why is it so hard to be content with what we got
I know it ain't a little sure as hell ain't a lot
I could work and fight forever if I only had your love
Well honey that would be enough
Well honey that would be enough
Well honey that would be enough
