I had a good job
And a good loving woman
But the world fell apart
And then I lost them
I can't pay the loans
Or the overdue fines
Can't drink enough whiskey
To make it alright
But the tide will turn
'Cause I have learned
There ain't no way
But the hard way, get used to it
I said, "There ain't no way
But the hard way so used to it"
You say, "I drink too much
And that it's a problem"
But that's how it goes
When you hit rock bottom
Don't need your advice
Or you helping hand
'Cause I'm living on the road
In a rock 'n' roll band
The tide will turn
And you will learn
There ain't no way
But the hard way, get used to it
I said, "There ain't no way
But the hard way so used to it"
The tide will turn, yes, it will
Hey, hey
I'm gonna roll on
Hey, hey
I'm gonna stand strong
Hey, hey
For the long haul
Hey, hey
It's rock 'n' roll
When the chips are down
You gotta make your play
'Cause there ain't no way
But the hard way
There ain't no way
But the hard way
I said, "There ain't no way
But the hard way"
Oh no, there ain't no way
But the hard way
There ain't no way
But the hard way, get used to it
Rock 'n' roll
I said, "There ain't no way
But the hard way so used to it"
There ain't no way
But the hard way
No way but the hard way
No way but the hard way
So get used to it
The tide will turn
