Play Hard

[Intro]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

[Verse 1]
Man started out with it in a cave
They're runnin' home, nobody's safe
Left with a note, all alone
Only wanted to have a happy home
Now it's my turn to show my stuff
It's sometimes fun and sometimes rough
I'm workin' hard to earn my way
But, lucky me, my work is play
Oh, well
An easy life
That I never wanted
We agree
Headlong worked out I see
Is there a way that we could skip this part?
Because one time when I lose someone
Every time they wanted to cry for me
All my life I guess I'm down with that

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Verse 2]
And I always, always look forward
That you wouldn't, wouldn't come up it
And you're just, just a big talker
I'm like you
And we don't, don't worry about it now
I really love when someone talks back to me
Well from a life of very fast days
Yes and I guess there's a lot to learn
All from a life of take-what-you-want-days
Oh, well me, well I just don't know
I'm just a preacher not a spiritual role
Oh well come on, just figure it out with me
Even though I know it's so

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Verse 3]
You're a single mom with three kids and just as many jobs
Your candle burns at both ends but you can't make it stop
You're a farmer on a John Deer, honest work for little play
Now throw that thing in park it's time to play
Where there ain't no drugs or doctors who can get you what you need
I've got the magic potion and it doesn't cost a thing
Yeah, you've seen some hard times
Life just works out that way

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time

[Chorus]
Burning poles in the back of my head
Hangin' on to every word that I said
Got your heart in the palm of my hand

We work hard, play hard all the time
And so I saw you running on (Work hard)
I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard)
We work hard, play hard all the time
