I get me up in the mornin’ Just to lay me down An’ everybody ask me: "Why you got to wear a frown?" Well, it’s not easy No, it’s not easy It don’t come easy You gotta keep a rollin’ on You gotta keep on rollin’ But, Lord, sometimes it gets so hard You don’t know why you do it But still you got to carry on Well, it’s not easy No, it’s not easy It don’t come easy You gotta keep a rollin’ on I’ve been tryin’ so long I thought the world would end I hit that bottom and I didn’t have a friend Well, it’s not easy No, it’s not easy It don’t come easy You gotta keep a rollin’ on Don’t be askin’ ‘bout how You’ll make it through the storm It’s not because of butter Don’ you know you gotta be strong ‘Cause it’s not easy It don’t come easy No, it’s not easy But, you gotta keep a rollin’ on
