Musician (It’s Not an Easy Life)

[Verse 1]
The rent's due tomorrow
Haven't got a penny to my name
I'm trying to build me a lifetime
Think I better start a new frame

[Chorus]
And I think I'm learnin' firsthand
About what it's like to be
To be a musician
And I can see
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life to live

[Verse 2]
Guess that I chose the hard road
No use wonderin' why
I had hopes I would make it
Must have had my hopes up too high

[Chorus]
And I think I'm learnin' firsthand
About what it's like to be
To be a musician
And I can see
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life to live

[Verse 3]
And I keep on smilin'
Smilin', ooh
Smilin'
Smilin' to hide the pain
Inside I'm cryin'
Cryin', ooh
Cryin'
And it's hard
It's hard to explain

[Chorus]
I think I'm learnin' firsthand
About what it's like to be
To be a musician
And I can see
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life to live
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life to live
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life
