Where I was going to I don't know
Maybe, I was just dreaming of an easier road
Easy come, easy go, you want it both ways
But nothing's easier since you got your way, I know

There ain't no easy road
There ain't no shortcuts home
There ain't no easy come, easy go
Tell me something that I don't, already know

There are no shortcuts home
There is no easy road
There's just a hard way, every day
Trying to make it on your own
There's just a hard way, every day
Trying to make it on your own

What I was doing there, I can't say
Maybe I was just lookin'
For a simpler way, to come home

Easy come, easy go
You want it both ways
But, you got to want it
If you want it to stay

There ain't no easy way
There are no shortcuts home
There ain't no easy come, easy go
Sure as hell, ain't no easy road

There ain't no easy come, easy go
Tell me something, that I don't, already know

I'm taking the long way home
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the hard way, any day
Cause' when, I get back home
I want to stay

There ain't no easy way
There ain't no shortcuts home
There's just a hard way every day
Trying to make it on your own

There's just a hard way, every day
Trying to make it on your own
There's just a hard way every day
Trying to make it on your own
There's just a hard way, every day
Trying to make it on your own
