it's five o 'clock in the morning,
I was dreaming I was home in bed
Hey, I opened my eyes and looked around
I found I was somewhere else instead
Now I know it's not right
But that's situation that I'm in
With no explanation of where I've been
oh, but it's hard going in
oh, but it's hard going in
It was just last week I made her a promise
I wouldn't stay out no more
But the outside woman's loving arms
Trying to figure out how to get back in
She's forgiven me many times before
But her patience is wearing thin
It's easy coming out slow, baby
Is it comin' out for me, baby?
Now I'm nervous, shook up
It would be so easy to walk on in
If I didn't have something to hide
Oh, baby, it's hard going in
Oh, but it's hard going in
You know it's hard going in
But it's easy coming out,
How long she will take it, only time will tell
For a little bit of heaven, a patch in hell
But it's easy comin' out, y 'all
I gotta tell you about it, yeah
If you don't let me come out inside
I'm gonna make everything alright
If you just let me come on in
I'll have a rest now, baby
Oh, I'll make everything all right
