Sturgill Simpson - Life Ain't Fair And The World Is Mean Lyrics
Well that label man said son now can you sing a little bit more clearYour voice might be too genuine and your song's a little too sincereCan you sing a little more about outlaws and the way things used to beHe told me you just worry about writing them songs leaving everything else to meDaddy was a Highwayman but he never wrote any old country songsPapaw never stayed out raising hell til the break of dawnBut he raised a proud coal miners daughter and I'm proud to be her sonShe told me boy I don't care if you hit it big, cause you’re already #1That's the way it goes in this day & ageYou ain't gotta read between the lines you just gotta turn the pageWell the most outlaw thing that I've ever done was give a good woman a ringBut that's the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is meanWell I still got the wife and the dog but I swapped the truck out for a vanGonna hit the road find the end of that long white line in the promise landWon’t hear my song on the radio cause that new sounds all the rageBut you can always find me in a smokey bar with bad sound and a dim lit stage
