And it's a hard life For a man with no wife Babe, it's a hard life God makes you live But without it Don't doubt it You don't even have Your tears to give I wake up and I'm fine With my dreamings still on my mind But it don't take long, you see For the demons to come and visit me And I've got my problems Sometimes love don't solve them And I end each day In a song And it's a hard life For a man with no wife Lord, it's a hard life God makes you live But without it Baby, don't doubt it You don't even have Your tears to give I know I'm a hard man To live with sometimes Maybe it ain't in me To make you a happy wife of mine Maybe you'll kill me Honey I don't blame you If I was in your place Maybe that's what I would do But I ain't breathing, let me breathe Let me go, let me leave I don't know, but I might lose I might bum, might blow a fuse So let me go Lay it down On my own Let me drown Let me go Go where you don't know
