Hard lyrics

Well, I am a good Midwestern boy
I give an honest day`s work if I can get it
I don`t cheat on my taxes, I don`t cheat on my girl
I`ve got values that would make the White House jealous

Oh Lord, it`s hard to be a man of prayer
Lord, it`s hard, oh it`s hard,
You know it`s hard to be like Jesus

Lord, it`s hard to be a man of peace
But it`s hard (so hard), ain`t it hard (hard),
You know it`s hard to be like Jesus
Don`t you know it`s hard (hard), and it`s hard (yeah hard)
To be a man of peace (hard, so hard)
But it`s hard to
