Lyrics Chris Knight – It Ain’t Easy Being Me
Text:
There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yeah I could be the mayor down there
And say «welcome to sorryville»
You might say that it don’t exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It’da be hard to miss
There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
I’d probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side
Where I’d light a match
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I’m gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that’ll bring you back but
But I don’t say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I’ve come to be
It ain’t easy being me
There oughta be a side show act
For freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says «danger do not touch»
Twice a day I’d mash it down and you can watch me self-destruct
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
But I don’t say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I’ve come to be
It ain’t easy being me
It ain’t easy being me
