Lord don't be angry
I haven't been the best
I sold you to the devil
For a brand new denim vest
I swear I tried so damn hard
To resist those tempting eyes
You played me for a fool
With his blasted denim style

You said that I could have her
If I only fell to my knees
Today I bought her flowers
She looked at me displeased

It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running

She looked at me with them pretty eyes
And sat me on the ground
Then she whispered in my ear
And the tears came pouring down
She said: I could never love you
You sold away my lord
The devil has your little soul
For that denim vest you can't afford

It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running
It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running

Those beautiful blue eyes and long blond hair
They wear down my heart
A bottle in hand I tipped it back
And found a little hole in the dirt

It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running
It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running
It's been a hard hard day for loving
And it's a hard hard time when you're running
