Hard Way Lyrics

He was her Johnny and she was his June

When he swore he'd walk that line

Sometimes he'd get stuck thinking

Grass a little greener on the other side

Another night, another one night stand, despite is wedding band

She had enough, she packed her things and she found another man

He had to learn it the hard way

He paid that price

Always gambling chances 

And rolling dice

Did his own thang, despite the consequences 

Now he's getting burned and learning lessons

Should've known better at the end of the day

He had to learn the hard way

California girl, corporate ladder 

Working that high rise 9 to 5

Despite the six figures it didn't matter

Did a lil drug hustle on the side

One night she crossed the border

Tried to sneak back a little cocaine

Got caught by the boys in blue 

Now locked up to a ball and chain

She had to learn it the hard way

She paid that price

Always gambling chances 

And rolling dice

Did her own thang, despite the consequences 

Now she's getting burned and learning lessons

Should've known better at the end of the day

She to learn the hard way

That's how the story goes

No matter how many times they get told

Something they win sometimes they don't

It's the game of life they figure out on your own 

They had to learn it the hard way 

And pay that price

Always gambling chances 

And rolling dice

Do their own thang, despite the consequences 

Now you're getting burned and learning lessons

Should've known better at the end of the day

You have to learn the hard way
