[Verse 1]
I walk a hard line winding road
Don't really know where it's gonna go
Seems like trouble's my best friend
Soon as I get out, I'm back in again
It's a wonder, I ain't all alone

[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't easy
No, It ain't easy
It ain't easy, Loving me

[Verse 2]
Don't why know I do the things I do
Must be I love to light the fuse
Stand back and watch it crash and burn and turn into ash
Just like it ain't nothing
She ain't something I can lose

[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't easy
No, It ain't easy
It ain't easy, Loving me

[Verse 3]
She's the brick by brick that built this house
Without her it would all fall down
So now she finds the faith and the strength to believe
Don't know why she sticks around

[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't easy
No, It ain't easy
It ain't easy, Loving me
'Cause it ain't easy
No, It ain't easy
It ain't easy, Loving me

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
