[Verse 1]
Well, smoking dope is dopey, gets you busted by old Smokey
And it's no aid to love Jesus or yourself
Well, I guess that's why I do it, I'm trying to get through it
And die before I have to ask for help
[Chorus]
It's a hard life, everybody knows
It's quite a feat how they keep stepping on your toes
It's a hard life, so people, get ready
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
[Verse 2]
There's a redneck bummer in an H2 Hummer
And he sure does hate the queers
I guess some life choices are cries for help
That nobody ever hears
[Chorus]
It's a hard life, everybody knows
It's quite a feat how they keep stepping on your toes
It's a hard life, so people, get ready
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
It's a hard life
[Verse 3]
I've been sitting here for days just a-counting all the ways that everybody done me wrong
Too stoned to understand that all my big plans
Were only gonna end up a song
[Chorus]
It's a hard life, everybody knows
It's quite a feat how they keep stepping on your toes
It's a hard life, so people, get ready
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
They give you loose gravel and call it rocksteady
It's a hard life
