It Ain't Easy

[Verse 1]

When you climb to the top of the mountain, look out over the sea

Think about the places, perhaps, where a young man could be

Then you jump back down to the rooftops, look out over the town

Think about all of the strange things circulating 'round

[Chorus]

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

[Verse 2]

Well, all the people have got their problems, that ain't nothing new

With the help of the good Lord, we can all pull on through

We can all pull on through, get there in the end

Sometimes it'll take you right up and sometimes down again

[Chorus]

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

[Verse 3]

Satisfaction, satisfaction, keep me satisfied

I've got the love of a hoochie coochie woman, she calling from inside

She's a-calling from inside, trying to get to you

All the woman really wants, you can give her something too

[Chorus]

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
