lyrics

I’ve been trapped in the mountains in the cold and the snow,
Ran from the lava of a volcano.
I’ve been stranded in the desert under a searing sun.
But being in love’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I’ve done hard labor and I’ve served my time.
Worked down in a deep dark mine.
Breathing the dust of the coal left me with just one lung.
But being in love is the hardest work I’ve ever done.

Being in love was something new.
I learned a few things before I was through .
Like love is hard work,
It’s not always fun.
It’s the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.

I slipped out back when I couldn’t make bail.
Made myself scarce with the law on my tail.
For fifty days through fifty states,
I was on the run.
Still, being in love’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,

My Daddy’s last words were “don’t be a fool”.
This aint something that you’re gonna learn in school.
I’ve got one last thing that I am going to share with you.
Son, love’s the hardest thing that you’ll ever do.

They said that you can pay up your debts, or you can go to jail.
It’s cash on the spot,
No check in the mail.
I said , are there any other choices?
And they said, none.
Still, being in love’ s the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.

Yeah , I cheated on the one that I left behind.
Best damn love I'll probably ever find.
I feel the weight of the guilt,
And it feels like a ton.

Yes, being in love’s the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.
Being in love’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Being in love is the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.
