Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Change the oil when you're supposed to

Drink the things you could make a toast to

No such thing as luck, and don't lose touch with the ones you grew up close to

I always thought that there was plenty of fish out there in that blue sea

Until I caught and lost the one that was made for me

[Verse 2]

I learned the hard way

No stranger to the long way

And gotta treat her right, you won't know what you lost until you're lonely

And the score ain't always even

Some doors are made for leavin'

Take it from me that most good things in life just don't come easy

I learned the hard way

Yeah, I learned the hard way

[Verse 3]

Keep the people by your side

And good friends are hard to find

Only thing that they ain't making any more of here is time

So say "I love you" if you mean it

And go practice what you're preachin'

And when it comes to God, ain't always gotta see it to believe

[Verse 4]

I learned the hard way

No stranger to the long way

And gotta treat her right, you won't know what you lost until you're lonely

And the score ain't always even

Some doors are made for leavin'

Take it from me that most good things in life just don't come easy

I learned the hard way

Yeah, I learned the hard way

[Verse 5]

I've learned you can't go undefeated

Life comes and goes in seasons

And everything that happens always happens for a reason

The hard way

Ooh, the hard way

[Verse 6]

I learned the hard way

No stranger to the long way

And gotta treat her right, you won't know what you lost until you're lonely

And the score ain't always even

Some doors are made for leavin'

Take it from me that most good things in life just don't come easy

I learned the hard way

Yeah, I learned the hard way

[Verse 7]

I learned the hard way

I learned the hard way
