Pay my respect to the company store I ain't got no money don't want no more Pay my respects to the company boys Now just move along I worked hard for every little bit I got And got lucky once on some advice Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon Musta left by mistake one night In a hurry, Lord And that ain't the hardest part The hardest part is loving Somebody that cares for you so much Promises don't pay cash at the bank If they did, I'm bidding your word They couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check To buy a baby doll for my girl And I worked hard for every little bit I got The things I got are gonna stay It's been flooding so hard on this company mines That you know it's gonna flood someday You're gonna miss someone And that ain't the hardest part The hardest part is loving somebody that cares for you And that ain't the hardest part The hardest part is working and I've worked enough I could stretch that penny like a silver line Rolling through the pages of my life Underneath your name where it's underlined I've been turned around I've been mystified by a true love And that ain't the hardest part Talkin' 'bout a true love That ain't the hardest part And that ain't the hardest part
