It Ain't Easy with Paul Mcilwaine
this is me on this thing.
Well hello there
Story behind the song
Started with the first line. and for a bit of a laugh I tried to come up with more titles of old bluesy songs. couldn't think of any and so just listed any old song titles instead. forgot about it for a while and then a year or so ago I was feeling a bit miserable and was then able to finish it.
Paul has kindly added some guitar parts and who knows I might stick on some bass and piano as well when the wind is to the south.
Lyrics
It Ain't Easy
Now I know why people sing the blues
‘bout what’s goin’ wrong
People losin their happiness
It’s such a sad song
I feel I’m losin everything
Can’t ye tell
It doesn’t matter what I try’n do
It all goes to hell
[ch] It Ain’t Easy - - -
I was lookin for a better way - Was that so bad
Now I feel like goin underground
I feel so sad
Today is such a heavy day - I can’t explain
And when it starts to lean on me
Think I’ll go insane
[ch]
Now I know why people sing the blues
Cos I can’t win
When they sing a song about goin down
It’s like the state I’m in
All I ever wanted was everything - Was that so wrong
Now all I want is a place to stay
Just to get along
[ch] [ch]
