Album: Vonnegut’s Wife
Track #5 Hard Act to Follow

Don’t you ever get tired of being nice all the time?
I bet sometimes it must get you down
Opening doors for little old ladies and rescuing kittens from trees
Stopping at the yellow lights or waving someone in
Shirt off your back for some toothless bums grin

Don’t you ever get tired?
Don’t you ever get tired of being good all the time?
I bet sometimes it must get real old
Smiling for no reason at everyone you meet
Doling out kind words like cupcakes
Always thinking of the poor man the orphan the cheat
Taking it on the chin and then you’re turning the cheek

Christ you’re a hard act to follow
Lord you got big shoes to fill
God that’s a hard act to follow
And most of us just don’t have that kind of time to kill

And how I wonder what it’s like for you
‘Cause even saints can sometimes get the blues
and few do what you say, not what you do

Christ you’re a hard act to follow
Lord you got big shoes to fill
God that’s a hard act to follow
And most of us just don’t have that kind of iron will
