Dying Won’t be Hard at All

13. DYING WON’T BE HARD AT ALL

Steve and I are both admirers of the mad/bad relationship song. This guy is not happy, and he has reason, since his ex appears to be a real piece of work. Adam Steffey’s mandolin playing speaks for itself: the ultimate in tone, timing and clarity. His chop is a force of nature!

I dropped you like a real bad habit, but I found I had the habit bad
I kept hoping you’d try to reach me, in spite of all the fun you had
I never dreamed in a hundred years you’d come crawling back
But that was just a part of your plan

Soon you had me right where you wanted, right where I wanted to be
Not knowing all the while through that covergirl smile, you had other plans for me
A man can spend a lifetime walking in the dark
Now I don’t like what I see

One good thing, when I hear that final call
After all you put me through, dying won’t be hard at all

I’m not ready to pick up all the pieces, The chips can lay where they fell
Be careful what you wish for, cause payback is always hell
Time’s a real good teacher, but not as good as you
I guess I learned your lesson well

There must be a reason for living
But I can’t find it for the life of me
