Chris Knight - It Ain't Easy Being Me

There ought to be a town somewhere, named for how I feel

Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say â€~welcome to Sorryville'

It wouldn't be on a map no where, you might say that it don't exist

But if you make enough wrong turns, it'd a be hard to miss



There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me

I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline

And walk on over to the other side, where I'd light a match, sit and stare

Through the smoke and flames, wonder how I'm gonna get back



Why do I do the things I do?

Was I born this way or am I self made fool?

I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

I need your love but I break your heart



And I know the words that'll bring you back

But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

It ain't easy being me



There ought to be a side show act for freaks like me

I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee

In a room with a big red button that says â€~danger do not touch'

Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self destruct



Why do I do the things I do?

Was I born this way? Am I self made fool?

I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

I need your love but I break your heart



And I know the words that bring you back

But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

It ain't easy being me, it ain't easy being me
