Lyrics Life Is Hard - Mac Davis

Daddy didn't have no money
Sister didn't have no shoe
Momma was taking an earning
Me, I had the blues
Grandma saw me crying, called me to her bed
Took me by my little hands, this is what she said

You gotta make the best, of each and every day
Be kind to your neighbors, take your time to pray
Don't forget to smell flowers along your way

Cus life is hard and then, you die
Ain't no use, to sit and worry and whine
Just pray to the Lord, you got a home in the sky
Cus life is hard and then, you die

Well, me I've done some living
Seen the best times and the worst
I had my share of losing
Sometimes can in as first
And world got tiresome
Filled my base with drifts
I simply prayed me a little and remembered what grandma said

You gotta make the best, of each and every day
Be kind to your neighbors, take your time to pray
Don't forget to smell flowers along your way

Cus life is hard and then, you die
Ain't no use, to sit and worry and whine
Just pray to the Lord, you got a home in the sky
Cus life is hard and then, you die

I guess I'm getting older
I can feel in my bones
Soon I'd be advising grandchildren of my own
And when they come for counsel
Trying to find their way
I'll take them by their little hands and this is what I'll say

You gotta make the best, of each and every day
Be kind to your neighbors, take your time to pray
Don't forget to smell flowers along your way

Cus life is hard and then, you die
Ain't no use, to sit and worry and whine
Just pray to the Lord, you got a home in the sky
Cus life is hard and then, you die
Life is hard and then, you die
