Hard Way

(Album: The Great Divide - 2005)

So let me tell a story, friend
Of diamond hands and one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice

Just when I thought I had it all
Caught a sucker punch and lost it all
Just never thought it would have come from you

So here I stand alone again
With one eye open, I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

So what am I supposed to do
When all I've got is God and you
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see

As I sit here on this park bench
Knowing what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep

So here I stand alone again
Talking to my faceless friend
At least when we've got words
We're eye to eye

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through
