Some people gotta learn the hard way |
|
I guess I'm the kind of guy who has to find out for myself |
|
I had to learn the hard way, |
|
FatherI'm on my knees and |
|
I'm crying for help |
|
Now, I've been high and |
|
I've been low |
|
I've been some places that you will not go |
|
I never thought there would come the day |
|
When I wished |
|
I never would've lived this way |
|
But I've been searching for a long, long time |
|
I thought the |
|
Devil was a friend of mine |
|
I turned my back on everything that was true |
|
And wasted years that belong to |
|
YouSome people gotta learn the hard way |

|

|

|
It took so long for me to see |
|
That I'm a victim of nature and me |
|
Left to myself, |
|

|
But You accept me every time and again |
|
And never mention just how selfish |
|

|
That I have fallen but |
|
You will forgive me |

The warning signs are like flares in the night |
