Keith Whitley - Hard Livin' Lyrics

Well you can call upthe sheriff
And the highway patrol
'Cause there's a fool on the road
Careenin' out of control
Hard liquor, fast women
I just can't let 'em be
Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me

Well, I keep my motor runnin'
Got my beer on the ice
And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice
Seven come eleven
Set this poor boy free
Lord, I wish hard livin'
Didn't come so easy for me

Bright lights, Saturday night
Well, I musta had a couple, I'm-a feeling all right
My cupcake she can shimmy and shake
Spend more money than anybody make

Well, give me some more of high-octane juice
You know where ain't no cure, forget your honky-tonk blues
Come up with somethin' I'll develop an immunity
Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

Out on the town just a-foolin' around
Hey, I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up, no need to be shy
And all right, a pretty woman's got her ticket to ride

Well, my tires are flat and now I'm out of gas
Always promised myself I'd let the next one pass
Lord, I wish that a promise didn't break so easily

And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
Hey, I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
