A Hard Life Makes A Good Song Lyrics - Infamous Stringdusters

Is your heart beating hard when you see the lawman 

Do you feel like you've run your last mile 

When you're out in the cold with the blue lights flashin' 

Something waits at the end of your trial 

A short life of trouble 

and a long time being wrong 

A hard life makes a good song 

A hard life makes a good song 

Does she take all you give, just to call her baby 

And you know she's just playing a game 

When you lay in your bed with one eye open 

Something waits at the end of your pain 

A short life of trouble 

and a long time being wrong 

A hard life makes a good song 

A hard life makes a good song 

When you're singing your song and you really mean it 

There's a power in what you have said 

If the words that they hear have them believin' 

Everyone in the room nods their head 

A short life of trouble 

and a long time being wrong 

A hard life makes a good song 

A hard life makes a good song 

You know a hard life makes a good song
