Lyrics:

I got hens on the roost and a rooster on a flatbed
Truck on a chert rock gravel road driveway
Sun's comin' up, coffee in my cup and my dog’s
Beggin' for the bacon baby's fryin' in a cast iron skillet
In the kitchen ‘bout to butter me a biscuit, but not before I bow my head

Ain't no king in a castle, but I damn sure got it made in the shade
Under a tin roof that rattles when the good Lord gives us some rain
Yeah, life ain't always easy, but believe me at the end of the day
It ain't hard, it ain't hard, it ain't hard livin' this way

Big yellow moon shinin' on the front porch
Junebugs stickin' to the squeaky old screen door
Six-string pickin'
Baby's sippin' sweet red wine

Ain't no king in a castle, but I damn sure got it made in the shade
Under a tin roof that rattles when the good Lord gives us some rain
Yeah, life ain't always easy, but believe me at the end of the day
It ain't hard, it ain't hard, it ain't hard livin' this way

Yeah, life ain't always easy, but believe me when she's smilin' that way
What can I say?

Ain't no king in a castle, but I damn sure got it made in the shade
Under a tin roof that rattles when the good Lord gives us some rain
Yeah, life ain't always easy, but believe me at the end of the day
It ain't hard, it ain't hard, it ain't hard livin' this way
It ain't hard, it ain't hard, it ain't hard livin’ this way
