Letting You Go the Hard Way

I remember my daddy telling me don’t ever take the easy way out

It won’t get you very far

I guess you could say I’m taking his advice the way I’m going down

Alone here in the dark

I’m getting good at misery without company

I know how to take a punch and your memory knows how to swing

When your fire goes out I throw gas on the flame

Just another drink another smoke another night

Of letting you go the hard way

Every coulda shoulda wished I woulda said I keep em rolling in my mind

Like four tires taking the long way around

And I ain’t ready to fill up all this empty

Or leave you leaving me behind

Or letting somebody else pickup what you put down

I’m getting good at misery without company

I know how to take a punch and your memory knows how to swing

When your fire goes out I throw gas on the flame

Just another drink another smoke another night

Of letting you go the hard way

Maybe I’m just crazy or maybe I just like the way

I’m starting to feel like falling in love with the pain

I’m getting good at misery without company

I know how to take a punch and your memory knows how to swing

When your fire goes out I throw gas on the flame

Just another drink another smoke another night

Of letting you go the hard way

Letting you go the hard way
