BABY IT’S SO HARD TO BE GOOD
(Harlan Howard)

Ernest Tubb & his Texas Troubadours - 1972



I make a promise a day to my Baby
I break a promise a day somehow
She say’s I’m gonna driver her crazy
But I’m too old for changing now

I’ve always had an eye for the lady’s
Don’t behave the way I should
But before we met I had some times I can’t forget
And Baby It's So Hard To Be Good

Now a cute little gal in Waco
Once mighty kind to me
A little blonde in San Diego
Burns holes in my memories

My book of love is almost written
I loved every gal I could
But when you get my age you want last page
And Baby It's So Hard To Be Good

Ain’t that right Jack
(Instrumentals)

now my hearts full of good intentions
I try hard to walk the line
But memories to sweet to mention 
keeps sneaking back into my mind

woman you know I love you
I’ve proved it every way I could
But when you get my age you want last page
And Baby It's So Hard To Be Good

Because when you get my age you want last page
And Baby It's So Hard To Be Good
