Hard Lovin’ Man

[Verse 1]
I get up in the morning and I work hard in the day
I can't wait till nighttime, when I go out to play
First I'm on to Susie then on to Mary Jane
Oh, how they drive me crazy, but Lord, I keeps me sane

[Chorus]
I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I drive a '57 Chevy, no it ain't no Cadillac
Got my pistol on the front seat, my whiskey in the back
I'm with Susie in the daytime and Mary Jane at night
I don't hear no complaining, they know I treat 'em right

[Chorus]
I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
I don't make no promisеs or wear no wedding band
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you undеrstand
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man

[Bridge]
When they wake up in the morning and they find I slipped away
I know they won't be angry, they knew I wouldn't stay
They don't ask me where I'm going, they don't ask me where I've been
All they wanna know is when I'm coming back again

[Chorus]
I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man

[Chorus]
Hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man
