Life ain't easy It's a long, hard, rocky road Well it's dog, dog eat dog And survival of the fittest so I'm told No matter how you try Life is hard and then you die
This old world is a tangle You can't trust your closest friend You know the devil wears a blue dress And she's out to get you in the end I can't count the tears I cried Life is hard and then you die
Yeah, it's hard...
[Instrumental]
Everybody... Got their own cross to bear Black or white, rich or poor You know the blues is everywhere (everywhere) Just keep reachin' for the sky Life is hard and then you die
