Chris Knight - It Ain't Easy Being Me Lyrics
There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yeah I could be the mayor down there
And say "welcome to sorryville"
It wouldn't be on a map no where
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'da be hard to miss
There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side
Where I'd light a match
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I'm gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back but
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
There oughta be a side show act
For freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says "danger do not touch"
Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self-destruct
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words to get you back but
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
It ain't easy being me

One of the best songs ever written and performed, just perfect!
The good ole days with boys. Man I miss it.
This is my hometown my name is Willy spearman and we are from Sorryville that's fo sho!love the song and video Mr Knight
Is that the track over around Manitou?
1997 ???? Are you kidding !!!!
Don't beat yourself up. It is hard being who you are. People expect so much from you. It's hard to let people see the real person...then you don't seem together and in control. I understand you...I know you really struggle inside...so much is expected from you. God says, when much is given...much is expected. So you see with God given talents shared so widely. You gotta expect that from people. They live through you in many ways. You bring them so much happiness...they can escape from their pain awhile. But you too need someone and somewhere to escape too. I wanted to help you. God sent us to one another. But you are so deeply rooted in how you live. That you for who knows but God and you...you didn't embrace it. If I could right now I'd say baby lay down here. I'd massage your shoulders and your back for you. I'd give you a pep talk to encourage you...fill you back up. Sometimes we all need someone to just add to our lives cause we give so much. Something needs refilled. Be happy"Mac". That's all I ask of you .....be happy sweetie. My sweet little darlin.
No it ain't
Funny thing, everyone always has the answers and they all can tell ya how to fix it,imagine that , if we all as perfect as them
Dayum good song guy!!!!
Wow actual country music NOT that POP country .people need to learn the difference
Music video makes 0% sense to the song but still great song shitty video
I dont wanna give up but it seems so tempting
This is one of the best country songs ever written.
CHRIS KNIGHT/EARLE.
I think ALOT of his songs would be great ROCK AND ROLL SONGS that being said their great as they are!!!
Seen him 23 times. From as far back as i can get..still awsome
This song describes me in every word...shameful lol
Can say that this man is the most criminally underrated songwriter of our generation
Yes. Fantastic story teller. Go listen to down the river.
@crazydave4455 absolutely amazing song, it's actually the first song I heard from him
👍 I find a lot of great and similar artists on a forth worth radio station, 95.9 the ranch. In fact they just played Chris's new song tonight. Bunch of great singer songwriters out there, if you know where to look.
You have got me through some tough times. Thank you so much.
Glad to see Spotify finally added this song and the rest of Chris Knight's first album.
Aint even done whith the night; go on 🎤🎸🥁🎶!!!
Somebody get this man a bigger soap box:-) 💯💯💯
Damn🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks like home to me
I do believe this song is about me.
The 590 that gave this a thumbs down are Luke Bryan fans
Damn it boy....ya got me in the feelz
Saw him a few weeks ago in Bristol TN! Acoustic style! Loved it!!!
Please come to the Netherlands
This song speaks to 150 million people, some embrace, and 66 are pissed and think Chris is making fun of them....LOL
I had the pleasure of meeting him 12 years ago when he was passing through upstate ny. He was invited to play at a local tavern with his bass player, they played a few dozen songs for a bar crowd at the Ale House in Troy NY , he had met the owner of the bar on a flight through Albany , he had a layover for the night so he accepted the invitation and appeared a few hrs later , I was lucky to be eating lunch when I heard of his playing there that evening, talk about being at the right place at the right time., this video along with "Framed " was popular on CMT and GAC music stations at the time, he stood for photos with me afterwards and signed the half dozen cd o had at the time for me @ n/c , we talked about hunting and fishing and of course my admiration for him and the music he brings to the country music world. Nicest artist you'll ever meet. I hope like hell he passes through again.
This guy is as good as it gets!
So who sang it first? Blake Shelton did this song too
Great song can totally relate to this song beautiful country
So did he weight or sing this song frist? Cuz Blake Shelton has this song on this album
Demo!!!!!! Luv this video.😎
Can't believe I got onto Chris Knight so late in the game. "Old Man" came across one of my Pandora stations about a year ago and I've been a fan ever since. This guy is the real deal. We all need singers and songwriters we can believe in.
Me too buddy
Reminds me of my dear brother...God rest his tortured soul...or maybe it's me, nonetheless, it's a damn good song! Love it!!! 💯
Randy Houser sounds and looks like a pig squealing in shit
My theme song

If anybody cares, this thing is in 10/4 time. I played small-time country music for 25 years and never came across a 10/4 song. Awesome song. Would be tremendous fun to play,
ONE OF THE BEST SINGER SONG WRITERS OF ALL TIME

Knight gets right to the point..
The Best ever.....
Might be his best, stellar lyrics!! I still remember the first time I heard it cruising on the Ohio River somewhere between Louisville and Owensboro KY. Lifelong hillbilly anthem!!!
bunch of mouth breathing cousin fuckers here
Blasphemy! YouTube played a commercial for Kane Brown prior to Chris Knight's video.
rick i need your love but i break ur heart
John Anderson did this song better.
He was one of the last artist's to record for Decca Records before it folded into MCA back in 1999.
Love Chris knight I don't like this version as much as the one on his other CD people are missing out when they don't have a chance to hear Chris knight, Bart crow band, Casey Donahew band and so on one of my favorite concerts was inside a bar Casey Donahew came in 2011 I has Chris knights CD in my truck and for 1 year it never came out
Kentucky boys bringing country back!
I can’t believe this song only has 1.7 mil views
Like to sit down and drink a beer with the MAN I bet we would click
I dig his down home common man attitude.. Something that resonates old hicks like me...

Chris Knight the dude ain't never had no bad songs
I can't believe I forgot about him! Heard this on my way to Sturgis and had to favorite this
Loved it
This song reminds of my Uncle Craig that died 3 years ago today after a big battle with cancer
0:30-0:32 how true
John Anderson's version is better.
Love this song !!
Why do I do things I do..
Video looks like my childhood... God bless Knight and the Bluegrass State.
