She won't drive a Cadillac unless it's new

She says gold is just a place to put my jewel

I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes

This livin' easy's getting hard to do



My daddy said never spend more than you make

And that advice I've always tried to take

'til the day you walked into the room

Now livin' easy's getting hard to do



Keep it simple

Man I'm trying

Start out lovin'

End up cryin'

Loan me a dollar

Some common sense

Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets



Put a million in the bank but you need two

Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do

I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues

This livin easy's getting hard to do



Keep it simple

Man I'm tryin'

Start out lovin'

End up cryin'

Loan me a dollar

Some common sense

Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets



Put a tombstone in the back yard one day

Hand carved under my name it will say

Here lies a man who found out far too soon

This livin' easy's gotten way too hard to do



'Til the day that you walked into the room

This livin easy's getting hard to do
