I used to smoke five packs of cigarettes a day

It was the hardest thing to put them away

I drank four or five bottles of wine

I kept a glass in my hand all the time.

Breakin' those habits was hard to do

But it's nothin' compared to the changes

That you put me through



Tryin' to live my life without you, babe

Is the hardest thing I'll ever do

Tryin' to forget the love we once shared

Is the hardest burden I'll ever bear



I had the worst reputation in town

For chasin' all the women around

I thought changin' my way of living was hard to do

But it's nothing campared to the cahnges

That you've put me through

I've done everything I've tried to do

But it's gonna take a miracle to get me over you



Tryin' to live my life without you, babe

Is the hardest thing I'll ever do

Tryin' to forget the love we once shared

Is the hardest burden I'll ever bear



(Bob Seger)



From the Live LP "Nine Tonight"

Recorded live at the Boston Garden, October 6, 1980
