lyrics

It Ain’t Easy (Chasing The Dream Away)

It’s an uphill climb on a level playing field
You gotta be kind and you gotta be real
Wined and dined and strung out on rhymes
and there’s no guarantees it ain’t easy

You can write a new rule book out there on your own
and still not even know if your chances have been blown
if you’re spending your time so you can be shown
that there’s no guarantees it ain’t easy

(Chorus)
You can change a chord
but who says it’s better?
If it makes more sense the less it matters
They want more of your money
because they’ve found a way
Should you keep chasing that dream?
You’re just chasing that dream away.

It’s just another song in a world full of blues
Anyone else tries to one-up on you.
You hang on for the smiles that are far between and few
and there’s no guarantees it ain’t easy.

Out there in the vast unknown
You wonder sometimes if your light found a home
If you made somebody’s day but you feel so all alone
There’s no guarantees it ain’t easy

(Chorus)

You were brought up by classic radio
When Jim Croce had his own light show
But records were heavy so they lightened the load
and there’s no guarantees it ain’t easy.

The loner in the corner no longer makes it big
Now it’s homecoming queens and the quarterback kids
Now it’s Ivy-League legends with their Ukulele bids
and there’s no guarantees it ain’t easy.

(Chorus)
