The Hard Way

How is mum?

Tell her I said hey

God, I miss her face

What’s been going on?

I say bring me up to date

You say my love

Everything is great,

But ain’t quite the same

Since you went away

I say dad, you know I couldn’t stay

I carry your love and your every advice

Gotta go wrong before getting it right

I'll stumble and fall but I’ll come back alive

Every mistake is a part of the ride

You gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way

How you been?

Are the people nice?

Is the money tight?

Are you managing?

You say tell me if you need something

I'm fine

They are all alright

Got enough to live

Little hard sometimes

I say dad, you know I had to leave

I carry your love and your every advice

Gotta go wrong before getting it right

I'll stumble and fall but I’ll come back alive

Every mistake is a part of the ride

You gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn

You gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way

Gotta let me learn the hard way
