When the sun is hot
And my old lady's not
I just fall out the door
You know I've been asking
Myself a long time
Ain't I been through all this before
I gave up singing
My half-done songs
When the money ran out
Before the rhyme
And I gave up loving
The one-sided love
When I could not believe their lies
Ooh, I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratching became my way of life
Well the night has fallen
And my old lady's gone
And I'm thinking
It's time for me to go
You know I haven't loved her
Like-a she's wanted me to
That's something she already knows
The night out is cold
And my shoes are so old
I don't much enjoy the rain
The bed's a lot softer
Than the road is hard
So I may hang on a few more days
Ooh, I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratching became my way of life
Ooh, I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratching became my way of life
