The Hard Way

Oh, the hells I put Myself through The fights I Didn't need to fight This thick head of mine Ya couldn't get through Had to do it wrong Just to get it right Just to get it right I learned the Hard Way But the hard way taught me well The hard way Sure put this boy through hell The hard way It taught me how to tell The right way from the wrong And on which side I belong Deep are the memories As a young boy Of the lessons That I learned My mama warned me That fire is no toy You play with fire boy And you get burned Oh I got burned And learned the Hard Way Buthe hard way taught me well The hard way Sure put this boy through hell The hard way It taught me how to tell The right way from the wrong And on which side I belong What others learned in Sunday school I learned by gettin' black n' blue I learned the Hard Way But the hard way taught me well The hard way It put me through some hell The hard way It taught me how to tell The right way from the wrong And on which side I belong Oh, the hells I put Myself through The fights I Didn't need to fight This thick head of mine Ya couldn't get through Had to do it wrong Just to get it right Just to get it right I learned the Hard Way But the hard way taught me well The hard way Should put this boy through hell The hard way It taught me how to tell The right way from the wrong And on which side I belong The hard way I learned the hard way I learned the hard way I learned the hard way
