Hard Livin'
Recorded by Keith Whtiley
Written by David Halley

C
Well you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol

Cause there's a fool on the road careenin' out of control
     F                                      C
Hard liquor fast women I just can't let 'em be
       G7                                       C
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
F                                   C
Seven come eleven set this poor boy free
       G7                                       C
Lord I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me

F
Bright lights Saturday night
        C                      F
I had a couple and I'm feeling alright
                          Dm
My cupcake can shimmy and shake 
D7                    G7
Spend more money than anybody makes

     C
Well give me a shot of that octane juice
    
You know there ain't no cure for the honky tonk blues
F                                      C
Because if they come then I develop an immunity
      G7                                    C
And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

F
Out on the town just a foolin' around
    C                             F
Hey I got my mind on the lost and found
                      Dm
Step up no need to be shy
D7                                 G7
All right the pretty woman got her ticket to ride

             C
Well when my tires are flat and I'm out of gas

I promise myself I'll let the next one pass
       F                                   C
Lord I wish that a promise didn't break so easily
      G7                                    C
And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

      G7                                    C
Hey I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
