[Verse 1]
Lord, don't be angry
I  haven't been the best
I  sold my dear to the Devil
For a brand-new name and a vest
I swear, I tried so damn hard
To  resist those terrible eyes
He  played me for a fool
I was blasted down, goes down
He  said that I could have her
If I only fell to my knees
Someday I bought her flowers
She looked at me in displease

[Chorus]
It's  been a hard, hard day for lovin'
And it's a hard, hard time when runnin'

[Verse 2]
She looked at me with them broody eyes
And sat me on the ground
Then she whispered in my ears
And tears came pourin' down
She said, "I can never love you
You sold away my Lord
The Devil has your little soul
For that damn miss can't afford."
[Chorus]
It's been a hard, hard day for lovin'
And it's a hard, hard time when runnin'
It's been a hard, hard day for lovin'
And it's a hard, hard time when runnin'

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Those beaut'ful blue eyes n' long, long hair
They wear down my heart
Bawling and, I tipped it back
And found a little hole in the dirt

[Chorus]
It's been a hard, hard day for lovin'
And it's a hard, hard time when runnin'
It's been a hard, hard day for lovin'
And it's a hard, hard time
When you're runnin'
