A Hard Life Makes A Good Song (Live At Boise, Idaho 3/24/2017)

Is your heart beating hard when you see the lawman?
Do you feel like you've run your last mile?
When you're out in the cold with the blue lights flashing
Well, something waits at the end of the trial

'Cause a short life of trouble and a long time being wrong
A hard life makes a good song
A hard life makes a good song

Does she take all you give just to call her baby?
And you know she's just playing a game
Do you lay in your bed with one eye open?
Something waits at the end of the day

'Cause a short life of trouble and a long time being wrong
A hard life makes a good song
A hard life makes a good song

When you're singing your song and you really mean it
There's a power in what you have said
If the words that they hear have them believing
Well, everyone in the room will nod their head

'Cause a short life of trouble and a long time being wrong
A hard life makes a good song
A hard life makes a good song
A hard life makes a good song
