EWell after all these years of runnin' around
AAlways flyin' high and fallin' down
BI gotta get back to the way I was
Agonna turn it all aB7round just because
EEverybody's talkin about the shape I'm in
They say Aboy you aint a poet just a drunk with a pen
BAll over and over, again and again
ALord they don't know about the B7places I been
It gets Ehard out here, I know it don't look it
AI used to have heart, but the highway took it
BThe game was right, but the deal was crooked
ALord I'll make it perfectly cB7lear
It gets hard out Ehere!
EI guess there must be somethin' - that I'm missin'
AMy momma told me, I should've gone - easy listenin
BJoined up with a band, cuz I thought it was cool
ALord good Lord, I should have B7gone back to school
EOh pretty darlin it'll be ok, 
You know Aone of these days, I'm gonna take you away
She said, BOh sweet daddy. You're probably right.
AYou know we might get lucky, but it B7won't be tonight
It gets Ehard out here, I know it don't look it
AI used to have heart, but the highway took it
BThe game was right, but the deal was crooked
ALord I'll make it perfectly cB7lear
It gets hard out Ehere..
EI know it don't seem it
AI said I'd try, but I never did mean it
BNobody's listening, we might as well scream it
AOh God we're all out of B7beer!
It gets hard out Ehere!

Chords in this song · guitar

Well after all these years of runnin' around

Always flyin' high and fallin' down

I gotta get back to the way I was

A B7

gonna turn it all around just because

Everybody's talkin about the shape I'm in

They say boy you aint a poet just a drunk with a pen

All over and over, again and again

A B7

Lord they don't know about the places I been

It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it

I used to have heart, but the highway took it

The game was right, but the deal was crooked

A B7

Lord I'll make it perfectly clear

It gets hard out here!

I guess there must be somethin' - that I'm missin'

My momma told me, I should've gone - easy listenin

Joined up with a band, cuz I thought it was cool

A B7

Lord good Lord, I should have gone back to school

Oh pretty darlin it'll be ok,

You know one of these days, I'm gonna take you away

She said, Oh sweet daddy. You're probably right.

A B7

You know we might get lucky, but it won't be tonight

It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it

I used to have heart, but the highway took it

The game was right, but the deal was crooked

A B7

Lord I'll make it perfectly clear

It gets hard out here..

I know it don't seem it

I said I'd try, but I never did mean it

Nobody's listening, we might as well scream it

A B7

Oh God we're all out of beer!

It gets hard out here!
