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 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 will come 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 Train is coming slowly to the station My baby's coming back from Arkansas No I'm not crying, I'm not lying 'Cause I don't love her anymore
