I made a lot of money workin' like a dog, but women and whiskey done got it all ahead. Ain't life hell? The more I made, the more I spent, and the more I paid to the government. Ain't life hell? A lot of folks say we're no good, but we're just doin' what they wish they could. So if I'm up, or if I'm down, I'm gonna be happy wherever I'm found. What's the use of old Hank workin' like a slave, when he's got a wife that sings on the stage? Ain't life hell? Ain't life hell? A lot of folks say we're no good, but we're just doin' what they wish they could. So if I'm up, or if I'm down, I'm gonna be happy wherever I'm found. That's the words to our song. If you want any more, then write your own. Ain't life hell?
