He said beer works but liquor's quicker
And he shot down that whiskey straight
He said I ain't no one but the secret is son
You gotta get outta your own way
I said my job sucks, I got a broke-down truck
And I feel like I'm spinning my wheels
As the pool balls clicked e pulled a lucky from his lips
And said son here's the deal
[Chorus]
This ain't about easy it's about tough
It's about leaving the house before the sun comes up
The kickin, the cussin, the fussin, the fighting
Stayin in love when the money gets tight
When you start this world with a wide-eyed girl
And a twenty dollar pawn shop ring
I know one thing it ain't about easy
