When life is hard it ain't no easy
Get up and dance and smile again
My baby stole my dreams and visions
And ran away with my worst friend
(chorus)
Play me your banjo, your broken banjo
I wanna party all night long
Play me your banjo, your broken banjo
I'll bring the whiskey, babes will come
I got no time to shed my tears
I got no plans to kill myself
I'm gonna buy me new fishing gear
And change her picture on the shelf
(chorus)
Train is coming slowly to the station
My baby's coming back from Arkansas
No I'm not crying, I'm not lying
'Cause I don't love her anymore
(chorus)
