Life's so Hard
I was about 6 when it happened to me
I was chasing a ball that bounced off a tree
I fell through a fence, reaching for the prize
I ended up broken and sad in my eyes
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
It'll kick you out of your own backyard
It'll make you say, I'm out of here man
And it'll bring you back to do it again
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
It'll kick out your teeth and take back your car
It'll make you ask how you got this far
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
I was about 10 when my dad left our home
He never came back; he went on the roam
My mother said, Sorry Son, I gave him time
He spent all our money on fillies and wine
I was about 12 when Mom sent me away
She could not afford me was what she would say
I was heartbroken; I no longer felt whole
A piece of me died, a big piece of my soul
I was chasing a ball that bounced off a tree
I fell through a fence, reaching for the prize
I ended up broken and sad in my eyes
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
It'll kick you out of your own backyard
It'll make you say, I'm out of here man
And it'll bring you back to do it again
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
It'll kick out your teeth and take back your car
It'll make you ask how you got this far
Oh, why does life have to be so hard
I was about 10 when my dad left our home
He never came back; he went on the roam
My mother said, Sorry Son, I gave him time
He spent all our money on fillies and wine
I was about 12 when Mom sent me away
She could not afford me was what she would say
I was heartbroken; I no longer felt whole
A piece of me died, a big piece of my soul
