Hard Way

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
