Hard To Be Good

These scuffed up boots and worn out guitar
Have seen every crack of every corner bar
From the smoke in these lungs to the liquor in my liver
Ain’t too hard to tell I’ve done some living as a sinner

Yeah, it's hard to be good
I can never go long
‘Fore I don’t do what I should
'Fore I’m doing what's wrong
Trouble seems to be
What my rowdy side enjoys
Lord it's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy

There’s a devil on my left and an angel on my right
That poor angel shakes his head most of the time
Nobody’s perfect God knows that’s right
But that don’t mean I don’t wanna give it a try

Yeah, it's hard to be good
I can never go long
‘Fore I don’t do what I should
'Fore I’m doing what's wrong
Trouble seems to be
What my rowdy side enjoys
Lord it's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy
Hey

Hard as I try with all of my might
I’ll turn a good all day into a bad all night

Yeah, it's hard to be good
I can never go long
‘Fore I don’t do what I should
'Fore I’m doing what's wrong
Trouble seems to be
What my rowdy side enjoys
Lord it's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy
It's hard to be good
I can never go long
‘Fore I don’t do what I should
'Fore I’m doing what's wrong
Trouble seems to be
What my rowdy side enjoys
Lord it's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy

It's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy
It's hard to be good
When you’re a bad boy
