The Hard Way Lyrics

Pride comes before the fall, so my mama said

Maybe she could see in me, a fatal flaw

She is not here now, to see me fall

She was right, I can see it now

Lying here in the dust looking up at grey skies

It's raining, wipers on, I still can't see, the road ahead

The lessons I have learned, came the hard way

Never be too proud, to listen to good advice

The hard way is the painful way to experience life

I always, thought, I knew better

Had all the answers, I was only fooling myself

Now it is clear to me, mama wanted the best for me

We can love so much, yet hurt those who care for us

It's raining, wipers on, I still can't see, the road ahead

The lessons I have learned, came the hard way

Never be too proud, to listen to good advice

The hard way is the painful way to experience life

Mama said.
