Is your heart beating hard when you see the lawman
D G
Do you feel like you've run your last mile
G D
When you're out in the cold with the blue lights flashin'
D G G7
Something waits at the end of your trial
[Chorus]

A short life of trouble

And a long time being wrong
G G D G
A hard life makes a good song
G G D G
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
[Chorus]

A short life of trouble

And a long time being wrong

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 will nod their head
[Chorus]

A short life of trouble

And a long time being wrong

A hard life makes a good song

You know a hard life makes a good song
