Garth Brooks — A Hard Way To Make An Easy Livin

[Intro] That's what I'm talkin' Ahh [Verse 1] Yeah, it all looked simple when I saw him pickin' on TV So I borrowed daddy's guitar and I bought myself a used Peavey Yeah I learned a couple chords and I called a couple friends Got ourselves a gig down at the Dew Drop Inn But they started throwin' beer and fried our equipment And it's a hard way to make an easy livin' [Verse 2] Well, we got a little better and the dates started pourin' in And the groupies got hotter and it bothered all of our girlfriends Then somе half-naked hottie hopped up on thе stage Followed by the lead picker's fiance And a few minutes later she told us he was quittin' (uh, yeah he's done) And it's a hard way to make an easy livin' [Chorus] Yeah, it might look greener on the other side Peakin' at it over your fence But once you're in it you'll realize Somethin' 'bout it don't make sense [Verse 3] So we made ourselves a video and stuck it on CMT And our lawyer told us all we'd be haulin' in the royalties It made a whole hundred grand but he billed us half a million And it's a hard way to make an easy livin' (That's right) [Piano & Guitar Solos] [Chorus] Yeah, it might look greener on the other side Peakin' at it over your fence But once you're in it you'll realize Somethin' about it don't make sense [Verse 4] Now we all feel lucky 'cause we're doing what we love to do And we hope you'll come and see us When we're playin' at a place near you But we might need a ride just to get to where we're pickin' 'Cause it's a hard way to make an easy livin' Yes, it's a hard way to make an easy livin' To make this easy livin', hey now
