Hello!
I've finally got off my fat arse and recorded something....
This song came about from some thoughts I've occasionally had regarding the whole competitiveness we all find ourselves in at times. To those that know me, not to worry, I'm still doin' it the hard way. :-) My sweet wife provided the hook.
Doin' it the Hard Way
I'm tired of tryin' to hold the line
Tired of tryin' to make the world right
Why'd I make it my job
When Atlas is doin' just fine?
Wonder why I work it so hard
Jus' seems to add a little more angst
Not helpin' out a damn thing
I think it's time to let down my guard
Stop thinkin' that I'm all that
Remove my self from the fray
Get rid of all this stress stat
Stop doin' it the hard way
It don't matter 'bout that other guy
I hope he's bein' all he can be
Can't fix him no matter how I try
Best see what I can do about me
Now I really don't know much at all
I really have no room to be smug
Do a little bit more listening
And a little less tryin' to stand tall
Stop thinkin' that I'm all that
Remove my self from the fray
Get rid of all this stress stat
Stop doin' it the hard way
