Lyrics
VERSE 1
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
CHORUS 1
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
VERSE 2
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
CHORUS 2
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
BRIDGE
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
CHORUS 3
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
END
Never quit
You won't forget
A lesson earned the hard way
Yea, a lesson learned the hard way
