The Hardest Part (Live At Carnegie Hall / 11/17/2014)

Pay my respect to the company store
I ain't got no money, want no more
Pay my respects to the company boys
Now just move along

I worked hard for every little bit I got
And got lucky once on some advice
Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon
Must have left by mistake one night
In a hurry, Lord

That ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is loving
Somebody that cares for you so much

Promises don't pay cash at the bank
If they did I'm bidding your word
They wouldn't pay me for the time, that took to write a check
To buy a babydoll for my girl

I worked hard for every little bit I got
The things I got are gonna stay
It's been flooding so hard on this company mines
Did you know we gonna drown one day?
You're gonna miss someone

And that ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is loving
Somebody that cares for you
And that ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is working and I've worked enough

I could stretch that penny like a silver line
Rolling through the pages of my life
Underneath your name where it's underlined
I've been turned around, I've been mystified by a true love

And that ain't the hardest part
Talking 'bout real love
And then they steal you heart

That ain't the hardest part
