Pam Tillis - The Hard Way lyrics
Your rating:
I was always falling out of trees And slipping in the rain Momma sighed as she nursed my scratches and scraps "Girl, why you gotta learn the hard way?" I fell fast, around seventeen Momma said she saw it coming As we drove off in his jacked up car "Girl, Why you gotta learn the hard way?" I never liked the sound of good advice When I should have thought it over, I never did think twice I like to play with matches though I've had to walk through fire I don't have an excuse, it's just the way my heart was wired Oh, I learn the hard way I'm drawn to trouble My heart just couldn't tell I courted disaster and each dance ended just the same All my friends said, "Why you've gotta learn the hard way?" Well, I never liked the sound, the sound of that And when I should have thought it over, well, I never did think twice And I have no excuses, it's just the way my heart was wired But I love to play with matches so I have to walk through fire I learn the hard way So why aren't you leaving or already gone? Each time I believed before, that's right where it all went wrong But you swear you love me and I think you mean it You say you're ganna stand by every promise that you make It's good you plan to stick around forever and a day 'Cause I learn the hard way I learn the hard way
