It Ain't Easy

It ain't easy Losing half your friends Thought they'd be there To the bitter end It ain't easy This growing old A young man runs When the truth gets told It ain't easy Shaking hands with your past It ain't easy Learning nothing lasts It sure ain't easy Knowing when you've had enough It's a slap to your face When it's time to give it up Vision fades Soul remains Even trade Along the way On the unpaved road Much unknown But when I'm all done I take my last breath You can have what's left It ain't easy To get a good night's sleep It ain't easy For an honest man to earn his keep And it hurts my heart To watch a weak man fade away And never leave his mark And leave this world without a trace Vision Fades Soul Remains Even Trade Along The Way On the unpaved road Much unknown But when I'm all done And I take my last breath (ohhhhh) You can have what's left (You can have what's left) It ain't easy As the years move on It ain't easy Letting go or holding on It sure ain't easy But you'll always be Walking a line between want and need Cause Vision fades Soul remains Made a damn good trade Along the way Up the unpaved road Much unknown When it's said and done I lay down to rest The life I love has no regrets Cause I know I had the best Now you can have what's left You can have what's left Uh, yeah So damn easy It ain't easy
