The Hard Way

I was always falling out of trees,

And slipping in the rain.

Momma sighed as she nursed my scratches and scraps,

Girl, why you gotta learn the hard way?

I fell fast, around seventeen,

Momma said she saw it coming,

As we drove off in his jacked up car.

Girl, Why you gotta learn the hard way?

I never liked the sound of good advice,

When I should have thought it over,

I never did think twice.

I like to play with matches,

though I've had to walk through fire.

I don't have an excuse

it's just the way my heart was wired.

Oh i learn the hard way
