Hard Headed

I was happy as a worm at the center of an apple

Or a banker sitting tall up there on a stack of

Dollar bills so high kinda hard to keep track of

But it all came tumbling down

Its just one of those lessons that you oughta be learning

That the world don't care cause it keeps on turning

And the sunshine's nice but it'll still be burning

If you keep on, hanging round

And I've been running my head through the 2x4s

Just to learn a lesson shoulda learned before

Breaking out the window with an open door

Waiting there for me

I tried to learn better but I never could get it

I oughta take it easy but I never could let it

So call me what you wanna but a little hard headed

Is all I'm gonna be

I went to see my baby she's the love of my life

I bought a ring on credit for to make her my wife

She hasn't called back in a coupla nights

But she's a busy gal you see

Well I knocked and I knocked but to my surprise

There was a man like a mountain standing there inside

I said "I'd put it on your finger but it ain't your size"

Then he swept the floor with me

And I've been running my head through the 2x4s

Just to learn a lesson shoulda learned before

Breaking out the window with an open door

Waiting there for me

I tried to learn better but I never could get it

I oughta take it easy but I never could let it

So call me what you wanna but a little hard headed

Is all I'm gonna be

I was feeling pretty low, feeling pretty licked

When this man on the street said "try this trick

It'll get you feeling right if life's got you feeling sick"

So I swallowed that pill down

I started feeling sweaty and my head started achin'

And my hands got blisters and I couldn't stop shakin'

I said "Where'd you get these pills I've been takin"

He said "Z Mart, down in town"
