So let me tell a story, friend

Of diamond hands and one night stands

I guess the good life paid you once or twice



Just when I thought I had it all

Caught a sucker punch and lost it all

Just never thought it would have come from you



So here I stand alone again

With one eye open, I'm a broken man

Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive



I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through



So what am I supposed to do

When all I've got is God and you

I guess I'll trust the one I can't see



As I sit here on this park bench

Knowing what you are thinking

I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep



So here I stand alone again

Talking to my faceless friend

At least when we've got words

We're eye to eye



I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through



I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through



I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)



I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through



I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through
