[Verse 1]
There ain't no easy way
For me to hear the things you need to say
But go on and say 'em anyway
Baby I can take it

[Chorus]
There ain't no easy out
We both know where this is goin' now
Once its rollin' you can't turn around
There ain't no way to fake it

[Verse 2]
Life is hard but love is harder
And when love won't go any farther
Tears won't put it back together
Sorry don't make it no better
When you run out of ways to stay

[Chorus]
There ain't no easy way
To look somebody in the face
And tell them your feelings have changed
And you can't do it anymore

The ain't no easy way
You can try to keep on tryin'
Act like love ain't really dyin'
You can just hang on for so long
You can only be just so strong
When you've run out of ways to stay
There ain't no easy way
For me to hear the things you need to say
But go on and say 'em anyway
Baby I can take it
Baby I can take it

There ain't no easy way

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.
