Life Lessons

Grandpa dropped outta school in the fifth grade Grandma barely made it past the eighth So maybe it's alright if I only made it two weeks At Oklahoma State The kinda learnin' that I'm lookin' for Ain't written out on a whiteboard I'm takin' life lessons Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond And do some wild living No, I ain't no preacher, but there ain't no better teacher Than a big old slice of humble pie On the road to life to find what I've been missin' I'm takin' life lessons All that money from tuition fees Could've been spent on gasoline Get me from Stillwater to somewhere Invest some sense in me Pour some concrete, play guitar Meet some strangers at a bar Make a little change to get by I'm takin' life lessons Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond And do some wild living No, I ain't no preacher, there ain't no better teacher Than a big old slice of humble pie On the road to life to find what I've been missin' I'm takin' life lessons I make a buck, fix my truck Fuck around and fall in love Shake a hand, make a friend Bring a heart back to life again I'm takin' life lessons Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond And do some wild living No, I ain't no preacher, but there ain't no better teacher Than a big old slice of humble pie On the road to life to find what I've been missin' I'm takin' life lessons Life lessons Life lessons Life lessons
