Hard Livin' Lyrics
Well, you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
'Cause there's a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
Well, I keep my motor running, got my beer on ice
And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice
Seven come on eleven, set this poor boy free
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
Bright lights, Saturday night
Well, I musta had a couple, I'm a-feeling alright
My cupcake can shimmy and shake
Spend more money than anybody makes
Well, gimme some more high octane juice
You know there ain't no cure, forget your honky tonk blues
And if they come up with something, I'll develop an immunity
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come easy for me
Out on the town just a-fooling around
And I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up, no need to be shy
You know that every pretty woman's got a ticket to ride
Well, my tires are flat and now I'm out of gas
I always promised myself I'd let the next one pass
Lord, I wish that that a promise didn't break so easily
And I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
Hey, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
'Cause there's a fool on the road careening out of control
Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice
Seven come on eleven, set this poor boy free
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
Well, I musta had a couple, I'm a-feeling alright
My cupcake can shimmy and shake
Spend more money than anybody makes
You know there ain't no cure, forget your honky tonk blues
And if they come up with something, I'll develop an immunity
Lord, I wish hard living didn't come easy for me
And I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up, no need to be shy
You know that every pretty woman's got a ticket to ride
I always promised myself I'd let the next one pass
Lord, I wish that that a promise didn't break so easily
And I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me
Hey, I wish hard living didn't come so easy for me

Yeah, Hard Livin'-the rocker and story of Keith Whitley's sad and tragic life. He didn't write Hard Livin'-but he sure lived it! The writing of the hard rocker is clearly autobiographical-ain't that the damn truth! Keith was a Country Guy to the core but he will always be loved and adored by the Rock Crowd! If I may say so myself, I want to ask Country Radio a Question -to quote the Country classic Murder on Music Row, would Keith Whitley have a chance on Country Radio anymore? The answer is a resounding No because Clear Channel/iHeart would tell Whitley to pack up and go home. Country ain't what it used to be-Keith Whitley's music and legacy are immortal. Keith Whitley-gone but never forgotten! Rock in Peace, Keith!
