NO EASY LIFE……..Steve Boileau
G C
Well I’ve done a lot of livin’, taken and a given,
D7 G
Riding shotgun on a runaway train at night.
G C
I’ve fallen on the rocks, been knifed, kicked and shot,
D7 G
Never backing down, always ready for the fight.
G C
I’ve been busted, chased and dumped, treated like a chump,
D7 G
Battling in a war I cannot win.
G C
I’ve been flattened with a hammer, but it really doesn’t matter,
D7 G
‘Cause tomorrow morning I’ll get back up again.
C G
No easy life, just hang on tight.
C D7
If I get through to-night, I’ll be alright.
……………………..
G C
I’ve traveled on the highways, dirt roads and byways,
D7 G
Hitchhiking with a Gypsy caravan.
G C
I’ve been tossed, turned and tumbled, staggered and stumbled,
D7 G
Been run down and forced to take a stand.
G C
I carry the scars, of fighting in the bars,
D7 G
Drinking whiskey to chase the scotch and gin.
G C
If I make it through tonight, without another fight
D7 G
Tomorrow is a chance to try again.
C G
No easy life, just hang on tight.
C D7
If I get through tonight, I’ll be all right.
……………….
G C
I wonder how many times, I can push it past my prime,
D7 G
And bet against the dealers winning hand.
G C
I’ll just keep on a stuffin’, the ballot box and bluffin’,
D7 G
Running from the posse and the Man.
G C
So here I stand today, living life this way,
D7 G
Defiant till the end of my time.
G C
Running with the hounds, underneath the clouds,
D7 G
Howling at the moon till morning light.
C G
No easy life, just hang on tight.
C D7
If I get through the night, I’ll be alright.
G
No easy life, just hang on tight,
If I get through the night, I’ll be alright.
