When life is hard it ain't no easy
Get up and dance and smile again
My baby stole my dreams and visions
And ran away with my worst friend
    [bad word] 
Play me your banjo, your broken banjo
I wanna party all night long
Play me your banjo, your broken banjo
I'll bring the whiskey, babes [bad word] I got no time to shed my tears
I got no plans to kill myself
I'm gonna buy me new fishing gear
And change her picture on the shelf
    [bad word] 
Train [bad word] slowly to the station
My [bad word] back from Arkansas
No I'm not crying, I'm not lying
'Cause I don't love her anymore
    [bad word]
