"Life Is Suffering" lyrics

Show 'em who's boss with your smoker's cough
Give it to 'em early in the mornin'
You smell like salt and cotton balls
Baked in the high blue sun
The river runs wide and crooked at times
Swells up with the hurricane rain
I don't mind, it doesn't happen all the time
I was born to bare a hurricane
I was born to bare a hurricane

They say you can't foresee the weather
But you can stand in the wind
You can thank the sky when the cotton grows high
Curse the dirt when it's dead again
Curse the dirt when it's dead again

Life is suffering
But love and family
Make hard work in the hot sun
Okay when the day is done

Abel killed Cain and took the remains
To drop out deep in the ocean
Came back covered in the poor boy's blood
But nobody said a thing
You know his blood runs wild and crooked at times
Swells up like the hurricane rain
I don't mind it doesn't happen all the time
I was born to be a hurricane
I was born to be a hurricane

They say you can't foresee the weather
But you can stand in the wind
You can thank the sky when the cotton grows high
Curse the dirt when it's dead again
Curse the dirt when it's dead again

Life is suffering
But love and family
Make hard work in the hot sun
Okay when the day is done
