Pay my respect to the company store
|
I ain't got no money don't want no more
|
Pay my respects to the company boys
|
now just move along
|
I worked hard for every little bit I got
|
And got lucky once on some advice
|
Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon
|
Musta left by mistake one night
|
In a hurry, Lord
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
The hardest part is loving
|
Somebody that cares for you so much
|
|
Promises don't pay cash at the bank
|
If they did I'm bidding your word
|
They couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check
|
To buy a babydoll for my girl
|
And I worked hard for every little bit I got
|
The things I got are gonna stay
|
and it's been flooding so hard on them company mines
|
That you know it's gonna flood someday
|
And you're gonna miss someone
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
The hardest part is loving somebody that cares for you
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
The hardest part is working and I've worked enough
|
I could stretch that penny like a silver line
|
Rolling through the pages of my life
|
Underneath your name where it's underlined
|
I've been turned around
|
I've been mystified by a true love
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
Talkin' bout a true love
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|
And that ain't the hardest part
|

The Hardest Part
