It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy

It don't matter if you're black or white, nobody rides for free

Well believe me life is a bittersweet journey

And everybody that starts out in the cradle still ends of up in the grave

Every man's got a mountain to climb
C G D
He's got his own cross to bear

Well everyday is just another step you take
C G D
On the road that takes you there
C G D
On the road that takes you there
[INTRO]
D G
Well you might be a rich kid, livin' on milk and honey
D A7
Livin' off your daddy's money, but money ain't everything
D G
Can't buy forgiveness, it sure can't buy salvation
D A7 D
But it can numb your senses and tarnish your golden rings
[CHORUS]

You can have nothin' and still have it all

Be a blind man and still see

You can be locked up in a cell
Em A7
But your heart can still be free (your heart can still be free)

It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy

Everybody's got a cross to bear on the road that takes you there, ah take me there
