Payin' Hard

Heaven knows I've had a hell of a time

But like the night gives way to the morning light

There's a pounding in my head again

I'd be lyin if I said I wasn't tired

I can't help but think of Janie and those pretty eyes

Yeah she was sweet as berries on a summer vine

She had a heart of gold, we were burning coals

Hotter than a sidewalk in July

At the expense of my heart

Lord I've cashed in my soul

Chose this old guitar

Before the only love I've known

I gotta live with that

Lose sleep with that

When I close my eyes

I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later

And I'm paying hard

Well I've heard it said that moments come and then they pass

And it sure passed me by when I should've saw my dad

But I plugged it in to another town

Swore another chance would come around again

Yeah I plugged it in to another town

Swore another chance would come around again

And now it's gone the kinda gone that don't come back

I only see him now in dreams that I have

I gotta live with that

Lose sleep with that

When I close my eyes

I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later

And I'm paying hard

So long my friends I guess this is my farewell

Damn all these pennies swimming in my wishing well

Told every single sorry that I had to tell

I'll live with that

Sleep with that

Make my peace

And I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later

And I'm paying hard

And I'll live with that

Sleep with that

Make my peace

And I'll die with that, yeah

I'll live with that

Sleep with that

Make my peace

And I'll die with that, yeah
