Copperhead Jones - The Hard Way

It was dark inside the truck
It was cold outside that night
I had the first flat tire of
My young country life
Fourteen and all alone
On a backwoods Texas road
I didn't know what to do
But I was about to find out
Life can come too soon
Like my old man used to say
Sometimes the only way to learn
Is the hard way
Yea, nothing makes you learn
Like a lesson earned
A lesson learned the hard way
It was hot inside the truck
It was cold outside that night
I had my first shot at love
In my young romantic life
Seventeen and rounding third
With a blue-eyed Texas girl
I didn't know what to do
But I was about to find out
Life can come too soon
Like my old man used to say
Sometimes the only way to learn
Is the hard way
Yea, nothing makes you learn
Like a lesson earned
A lesson learned the hard way
I am older now
With children of my own
I'll do my best to show them
All that I have known
I'll do my best to tell them
What this world's about
They don't know what's coming
But they're going to find out
Life can come too soon
Like my old man used to say
Sometimes the only way to learn
Is the hard way
Yea, nothing makes you learn
Like a lesson earned
Like a lesson learned the hard way
Never quit
You won't forget
A lesson earned the hard way
Yea, a lesson learned the hard way
