School Of Hard Knocks

(앨범: Are You Ready For The Big Show? - 2001)

Well, the last one hurt like hell
Knocked the wind right outta my sails
And I'll heal up someday
But it's gonna leave a beauty of a scar
I think I'm gonna get drunk
Pull the tire iron outta my trunk
Bang up all of my fenders
Just so they can match my heart

I'm trying to get myself an education
Cry one more tear towards graduation
Every Sunday punch I've thrown has come back around to clean my clock
The bell is ringing, down at the school of hard knocks

They're gonna inscribe my name at the Bridge Burners' Hall of Fame
As a fool who never learned there ain't no future in it
Some lessons we learn with ease
Baby most bring us to our knees
I wish I could learn about love
Without another woodshed visit

I'm trying to get myself an education
Cry one more tear towards graduation
Every Sunday punch I've thrown has come back around to clean my clock
The bell is ringing, down at the school of hard knocks

A little kiss and a Band-aid makes those skint knees heal up fine
But there ain't nothing gonna heal this heart but time

While I'm getting myself an education
Cry one more tear towards graduation
Every Sunday punch I've thrown has come back around to clean my clock
The bell is ringing, down at the school of hard knocks
Yeah, I'm a straight
A student down at the school of hard knocks
