It Ain’t Easy

[Verse 1]
Well, when I was just boy
I knew that music wasn't my joy
And I'm so glad for the day
That at last I learned to play
They called me weird and such
But I don't minded it much
'Cause when it's said and done
You know that I'm the lucky one
And I'm having fun
All kinds of fun
Hey man, you think this is easy?
(You better try to learn how to fly a jet plane or something
I'm telling you)

[Verse 2]
'Cause once I had a car
A fine home, I wore a star
But the sheriff took back his badge
And all my riches turned into rags
I damned near flipped my lid
My old lady up and split
They say time do heal
But I still can't pay my bills
And I'm taking pills
All kinds of spills

[Chorus]
You know it ain't easy
It ain't too easy
Sure ain't easy
Learn to rock 'n' roll
Rollin', rollin' over
It ain't no easy
It sure ain't easy
To do the rock n' roll, oh, woah, oh

[Verse 3]
Well, down to my last buck and
I didn't have nothing but buzzing up
Then I met Alex and Fred and Pete (Ain't easy)
And they set me back on my feet (Hey)
Why don't you come and play?
We going to practice every day
We'll learn a tune or two
August will be there, too
And when we're through
Some groupies, too
(Man, you can get all kinds of benefits)

[Verse 4]
Oh well, we play most everywhere (Ain't easy)
From Paris Bar to the Phoenix Fair
But the gig we love the most
It's playing live right here before you folks
We thank you very much
Sweetwater is deeply touched
And when this gig is through
We hope to touch you, too
And when it's through
To touch you, too

[Chorus]
(You know it ain't easy) No, it ain't easy
(It ain't easy) No, it ain't easy
(Sure ain't easy) It never wasn't easy
(To rock 'n' roll) Woah, to rock 'n' roll, roll me over here
(It ain't easy)
It ain't easy
Sure ain't easy
To rock 'n' roll
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It sure ain't easy
It never was easy, ay, hey
Yes, I do, yes I do
Rock 'n' roll
