Hey there, music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a classic country song that will transport you back to the good ol’ days of honky-tonks and heartbreak. The song I’m talking about is “Hard Livin'” by the legendary Keith Whitley.

Released in 1985 as part of his album “L.A. to Miami,” “Hard Livin'” is a true gem in the country music genre. Keith Whitley’s smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics make this song an instant favorite for anyone who appreciates the raw emotions that country music can evoke.

The composition history of “Hard Livin'” is quite interesting. It was written by country music songwriter, David Stringfellow, who perfectly captured the essence of Whitley’s troubled life in the lyrics. The song tells the story of a man who has been living a hard and fast life, filled with regrets and mistakes.

What sets “Hard Livin'” apart is the way Keith Whitley brings the song to life. His soulful delivery and the twang of his voice make you feel every word he sings. You can hear the pain and longing in his voice as he sings about the consequences of his choices.

But “Hard Livin'” is not just a song about regrets and mistakes. It’s also a reminder that we all have the power to change our lives and find redemption. It’s a song that speaks to the human condition and the universal desire for a second chance.

If you’re a fan of country music or just appreciate great songwriting, I highly recommend giving “Hard Livin'” a listen. It’s a timeless classic that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you wanting more.

Hard Livin’ – Keith Whitley lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Well you can call upthe sheriffAnd the highway patrol‘Cause there’s a fool on the roadCareenin’ out of controlHard liquor, fast womenI just can’t let ’em beLord, I wish hard livin’ didn’t come so easy for me
Well, I keep my motor runnin’Got my beer on the iceAnd my idea of heaven is a pair of diceSeven come elevenSet this poor boy freeLord, I wish hard livin’Didn’t come so easy for me
Bright lights, Saturday nightWell, I musta had a couple, I’m-a feeling all rightMy cupcake she can shimmy and shakeSpend more money than anybody make
Well, give me some more of high-octane juiceYou know where ain’t no cure, forget your honky-tonk bluesCome up with somethin’ I’ll develop an immunityLord, I wish hard livin’ didn’t come easy for me
Out on the town just a-foolin’ aroundHey, I got my mind on the lost and foundStep up, no need to be shyAnd all right, a pretty woman’s got her ticket to ride
Well, my tires are flat and now I’m out of gasAlways promised myself I’d let the next one passLord, I wish that a promise didn’t break so easily
And I wish hard livin’ didn’t come easy for meHey, I wish hard livin’ didn’t come easy for me
