A barroom brawler, heavy drinker, and longtime womanizer is starting to feel his age. He may be slowing down or softening up, but you wouldn’t know it from the pace of this song. It features a steady blues riff and some of Stapleton’s most roaring vocals on the album.
[Verse 1]
I used to love to look for a fight
I'd get drunk and shoot out the lights
I was known to get outta hand
A rough and rowdy honky tonk man
[Chorus]
Never thought it would happen to me
But this hard livin' ain't as easy as it used to be
[Verse 2]
I looked a lot, but I've never found
A woman that could settle me down
I been known to have a good time
No, I could never walk the line
[Chorus]
Never thought it would happen to me
But this hard livin' ain't as easy as it used to be
Woo!
