Long Hard Life

Well, I ain't hurt nobody and ain't nobody hurt me
Until the law man finds my house and hangs me from a tree
For what I've done

Baby, it's a long hard life
And all I got to show is 13 acres of property
Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, who's gonna raise my backer?
Who's gonna tend my corn?
'Cause I'll be lyin' in my cell
And my wife ain't been the same since the kids were born

Baby, it's a long hard life
All I got to show is 13 acres of property
Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Oh, well, I done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail
When I asked my little wife, if she could come and go my bail
But she done spent all of my money
Now, I'm sitting in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Now I'm in this little bitty trailer
Tryna make a living off a selling ice
But the waters on and the roof don't leak
And kids are warm, and the Wi-Fi works just right

And all I got to show is 13 acres of property
Three dogs, two kids, and one wife

Well, I done the best I could, but I still wound up in jail
When I asked my little wife, if she would come and go my bail
But she done spent all of my money
Now I'm sitting in this cell, and it's a long hard life

Yeah, when I heard just there ain't no damn jobs
You gotta do all that you can
Well, you got to make your money
Raise your youngins like a man
But the hand that used to feed me
Just got shut down by the man
And it's a long hard life
