The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Hard To Explain Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
If it aint one thing
I tell you its always another
I wonder why
I started treating you like a step-brother
Love is hard to explain
I know my loss is someone elses gain
Sometimes love is like a bitter pill
But we just have to take it like it is
Sometimes life is the sweetest thing
And sometimes its just naked pain
Oh, its so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone elses gain
My troubles started when I found you
But thats when I (wrapped? ) my world around you
And now my living aint so easy
I thought thats what a woman was supposed to do
You see, its so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone elses gain
I went to see my doctor
`cause I thought I had a hole in my heart
But he said girl, youre just wasting my time
Because some man messed up,
Went and messed up your mind
Its so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone elses gain
Oh, love its so hard to explain
Itll make you forget your name
Itll turn you upside down
Itll make you wish that youd never been found
