Lord don't be angry I haven't been the best I sold you to the devil For a brand new denim vest I swear I tried so damn hard To resist those tempting eyes But he played me for a fool For this blasted denim style He said that I could have her If I only fell to my knees So today I bought her flowers She looked at me displeased It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running She looked at me with them pretty eyes And sat me on the ground Then she whispered in my ear And the tears came a'pouring down She said "I could never love you You sold away my lord The devil has your little soul For that denim vest you can't afford" It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running Those beautiful blue eyes and long blonde hair They wear down my heart With a bottle in hand I tilt it back And found that little hole in the dirt It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running It's been a hard hard day for loving And it's a hard hard time when you're running
