The Hard Ways
You bet the hard ways ‘cause the money’s so good when you win
You live the hard life, every dollar you earn you just spend
But when you beat the odds the endorphins run straight to your head You do it again, and again, and again until you’re dead. Just lay down man
This situation’s gotten out of control
Scoop up them dice again and give ‘em a roll
You bet the hard ways’ cause you live for the fight
You live the wrong way ‘cause there’s no fun in right
You’d take it easy but you just don’t know how
There ain’t no turning back, there ain’t no turning back now
You live the night life, you give it hell, you shoot ‘em down, and chase the dawn And when you catch it, well you cover your eyes and just yawn
You slither back into your cave that you’ve come to call a home
But what’s a home when you’re living this life all alone. Well lay down man.
This situation’s gotten out of control Take up that bottle man and give it a pull
You bet the hard ways’ cause you live for the fight
You live the wrong way ‘cause there’s no fun in right
You’d take it easy but you just don’t know how
There ain’t no turning back, there ain’t no turning back now
This situation’s gotten out of control
Take up that needle man and give it a pull
