Hard Way to Live August, 2011

She was a young girl
Looking for a ticket out of home
So she found a young man who made her feel
So wonderful
Then they built a family one by one
And she quit her job to take a different one
Sent the kids to school each morning
While he went to earn his pay

It’s a hard way to live
When you’re feeling so alone
When you’re hoping what he tells you might be true
It’s a hard way to live
When the night is almost gone
And he’s miles away and you’re wondering who he’s holding in his arms

Soon they got a bigger house
In a better neighbourhood
And they saw less of each other
As he worked all that he could
There was less and less to talk about
More and more to say
Before you knew it the time had slipped away

It’s a hard way to live…….

Now the kids have grown older
Moved out and on their own
He’s still working such long hours
Never happy when he’s home
And the trust she had when they made their vows
Was from a different time
She won’t ask him if he’s faithful
She doesn’t want to hear him lie It’s a hard way to live……
