"I Used To Think It Was Easy" lyrics

When the sun is hot and my old lady's not
I just fall out the door
You know I've been askin' myself a long time
Ain't I been through all this before

I gave up singin' my half-done songs
When the money ran out before the rhyme
And I gave up lovin' the one-sided love
When I could not believe their lies

Ooh I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

Well the night has fallen and my old lady's gone
And I'm thinkin' it's time for me to go
You know I haven't loved her like-a she's wanted me to
That's somethin' she already knows

The night out is cold and my shoes are so old
I don't much enjoy the rain
The bed's a lot softer than the road is hard
So I may hang on a few more days

Ooh I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life

Ooh I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life
