The rent's due tomorrow

Haven't got a penny to my name

I'm trying to build me a lifetime

Think I better start a new frame

And I think I'm learnin' first hand

About what it's like to be

To be a musician

And I can see

It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life to live

Guess that I chose the hard road

No use wonderin' why

I had hopes I would make it

Must have had my hopes up too high

And I think I'm learnin' first hand

About what it's like to be

To be a musician

And I can see

It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life to live

And I keep on smilin'

Smilin' ohh

Smilin'

Smilin' to hide the pain

Inside I'm cryin'

Cryin'

Ohh

Cryin'

And it's hard

It's hard to explain

And I think I'm lernin' first hand

About what it's like to be

To be a musician

And I can see

It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life to live

It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life to live

It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life
