[Verse 1]
I saw my mother break down in tears when I was just 6 years old
Working 3 jobs to provide the best life so her kid never felt all alone
[Chorus]
Broken and bruised from a world so cruel but always found the light in the dark
She said, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road, but the best parts of life ain't easy."
[Verse 2]
My Pops did magic tricks to make a quick buck to buy me my first guitar
From a pawnshop in Chatsworth, where dreams go to die to be reborn into brighter stars
[Chorus]
He made me practice 'til my fingers bled but that Gibson it never let mе starve
He said, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road, but the bеst parts of life ain't easy."
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
[Bridge]
I watched my mom and dad meet the Lord young, I wish they would've both had more time
They'll never meet their grandkids, see the first female president, or walk me on down the aisle
[Chorus]
I lost my mind then I quickly realized they still live on in this broken heart
And say, "It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road, but the best parts of life ain't easy."
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
Oh, the best parts of life ain't easy
