life ain t easy

American Authors

I saw my mother break down in tears
when I was just 6 years old
Working 3 jobs to provide the best life
so her kid never felt all alone

Broken and bruised from a world so cruel
but always found the light in the dark
She said, It s a hard, hard, hard, hard road
but the best parts of life ain t easy.

My Pops did magic tricks to make a quick buck
to buy me my first guitar
From a pawnshop in Chatsworth
where dreams go to die
to be reborn into brighter stars

He made me practice til my fingers bled
but that Gibson it never let m? starve
He said, It s a hard, hard, hard, hard road
but the b?st parts of life ain t easy.

Oh, the best parts of life ain t easy

I watched my mom and dad meet the Lord young
I wish they would ve both had more time
They ll never meet their grandkids
see the first female president
or walk me on down the aisle

I lost my mind then I quickly realized
they still live on in this broken heart
And say, It s a hard, hard, hard, hard road
but the best parts of life ain t easy.

Oh, the best parts of life ain t easy
Oh, the best parts of life ain t easy
