A
Living a life without you
Living a life without you
I'm gonna lie for it, living a life of it
Staying alive without you
     D
I'm living a life for a woman
I'm stringing a line with it,
now that she's gone with it
 A
Living a life without you
Living a life without you
E
Hey Joe, you know what I mean
It's never been done before
A hard ride was never my scene
                              C
But now I'm coming back for more
A
Living a life of it
Living a life of it

Chorus:
            D
And it's a hard ride down a rocky road
         A
It's a hard, hard ride all on your own
        D
It's a hold on with all you've got
            E
Oh, It's a hard...
            G         D      C     A
Oh, it's a hard ride down a rocky road

Living a life without you
Living a life without you
It's running away with me, look at the change in me
Sleeping alone without you
When I get up in the morning
It's no good believing what I've been dreaming
Living a life without you
Living a life without you
All right, it's over and done
She's never coming back to me
A hard ride is what I've become
From now until my dying day

Living a life of it
Living a life of it

Chorus:
And it's a hard ride down a rocky road
It's a hard, hard ride all on your own
It's a hold on with all you got
Oh, It's a hard...
Oh, it's a hard ride down a rocky road
(Hard ride, hard ride, hard ride, hard ride
Hard ride, hard ride, hard ride)

I got a hard ride, ain't nothing new
With a rocking roll, rollin without you
It's a long time since you've been gone
And it's a hard ride down a rocky road

Oh, it's a hard ride down a rocky road
It's a hard, hard ride all on your own
It's a hold on while you've got to
It's a hard ride

Yeah it's a hard, hard, hard, hard, hard ride
Oh it's a hard, hard, hard, hard, hard ride
Yeah, it's a hard, hard, hard, hard, hard ride
Oh it's a hard...
Oh it's a hard ride down a rocky road
(It's a Hard Ride)

Living a life away, living a life away
Living a life away, living a life away
