Lyrics If It Was Easy - Bryan Martin

I spent half my life down a dead end road
This honky tonk living, is all I know
I'm a roughneck who's wrote a few songs
I gave it all I got to have what's on my back
It's a hard-earned dollar when you make your own path
Ask my babies
I never had my own

'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed
If there was nothing to lose but the struggle
Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong
'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no
Not after all the things that I've saw
Yeah, it keeps me hanging on
That's what it takes to follow a song

I've been in some places I never should've gone
Did a little bit of right, and a whole lot of wrong
I was hell-bound, Lord knows I didn't stand a chance
But he sent me an angel who was there all along
She's still waiting there right back at home
And these other girls, Lord knows I never give 'em a second glance

'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed
If there was nothing to lose but the struggle
Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong
'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no
Not after all the things that I've saw
Yeah, it keeps me hanging on
That's what it takes to follow a song

'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed
If there was nothing to lose but the struggle
Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong
'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no
Not after all the things that I've saw
Yeah, it keeps me hanging on
That's what it takes to follow a song
