It Ain’t Easy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, when I was just boy I knew that music wasn't my joy And I'm so glad for the day That at last I learned to play They called me weird and such But I don't minded it much 'Cause when it's said and done You know that I'm the lucky one And I'm having fun All kinds of fun Hey man, you think this is easy? (You better try to learn how to fly a jet plane or something I'm telling you) [Verse 2] 'Cause once I had a car A fine home, I wore a star But the sheriff took back his badge And all my riches turned into rags I damned near flipped my lid My old lady up and split They say time do heal But I still can't pay my bills And I'm taking pills All kinds of spills [Chorus] You know it ain't easy It ain't too easy Sure ain't easy Learn to rock 'n' roll Rollin', rollin' over It ain't no easy It sure ain't easy To do the rock n' roll, oh, woah, oh [Verse 3] Well, down to my last buck and I didn't have nothing but buzzing up Then I met Alex and Fred and Pete (Ain't easy) And they set me back on my feet (Hey) Why don't you come and play? We going to practice every day We'll learn a tune or two August will be there, too And when we're through Some groupies, too (Man, you can get all kinds of benefits) [Verse 4] Oh well, we play most everywhere (Ain't easy) From Paris Bar to the Phoenix Fair But the gig we love the most It's playing live right here before you folks We thank you very much Sweetwater is deeply touched And when this gig is through We hope to touch you, too And when it's through To touch you, too [Chorus] (You know it ain't easy) No, it ain't easy (It ain't easy) No, it ain't easy (Sure ain't easy) It never wasn't easy (To rock 'n' roll) Woah, to rock 'n' roll, roll me over here (It ain't easy) It ain't easy Sure ain't easy To rock 'n' roll It ain't easy It ain't easy It sure ain't easy It never was easy, ay, hey Yes, I do, yes I do Rock 'n' roll
