TOIL & TROUBLE

V1
I used to talk to God in what I thought was some kind of confidence
But I swear that lately the devil must be right there listening in

V2
Cause everywhere I go you know that I see evidence of him
Making damn sure nothing in this life comes easy again

CHORUS
The price of life is toil and trouble and money cannot buy you’re way out
You can try to outrun the struggle but it’s got your number
And in time it’ll run you down

V3
And I used to take the high road thinking I could rise above the pain below
Until I finally figured out getting high don’t keep the pain from coming round


BRIDGE
Maybe God’s giving change for the due’s I’ve been paying
I’ll add it up and lay some money down
On a life of joy and ease that’s so far escaped me
Even though I know that can’t hang around

CHORUS

V3
So I like to think despite all the hurt and all the strife
there’s a reason there’s no easy way through life
If it’s true what they say if I’m not dead then I’m still playing
And somehow end up stronger for the fight
