Hard Life - Jo Dee Messina

Now the clock says it’s time

Rise and smell the daily grind, no breaking free

Another day, hedge and bets

All this work is gonna get the best of me

Such a hard life

And you pull the shades, make me smile

Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads

Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer

Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright

Hurry up, talk the talk, say 'yes sir' when you wanna walk

And bite you tongue

You tell yourself, you’re paying due

The trouble is you know the truth, you ain’t that young

It’s a hard life

And you pull the shades, make me smile

Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads

Hear you say, let’s stay in bed a little while longer

Outside, it’s a hard life but that’s alright, yes it is

Baby, let me tell you what

Gotta let this hard life stuff

Gotta let it go, let it go

Right on by us

And you pull the shades, make me smile

Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads

Hear you say, oh, let’s stay in bed a little while longer

Outside, it’s a hard life, yes it is, baby

Outside, it’s a hard life, oh, but that’s alright

Oh, yes it is, ooh
