Well I'm buckled up inside
|
It's a miracle that I'm alive
|
I do not think I can survive
|
On bread and wine alone
|
To think that I could have fallen
|
A centimeter to the left
|
Would not be here to see the sunset
|
Or have myself a time
|
|
[Refrain]
|
Well why do the hands of time
|
So easily unwind
|
Some lessons we learn the hard way
|
Some lessons don't come easy
|
That's the price we have to pay
|
Some lessons we learn the hard way
|
They don't come right off and right easy
|
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way
|
|
Remember the sound of the pavement
|
World turned upside down
|
City streets unlined and empty
|
Not a soul around
|
Life goes away in a flash
|
Right before your eyes
|
If I think real hard well I reckon
|
I've had some real good times
|
|
[Refrain]
|
Well why do the hands of time
|
So easily unwind
|
Some lessons we learn the hard way
|
Some lessons don't come easy
|
That's the price we have to pay
|
Some lessons we learn the hard way
|
They don't come right off and right easy
|
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way
|
