Doing Things The Hard Way

Leavin home never seemed so easy.
I count the miles to the county line as I go down the road
See my past in my rearview fading
I'm leaving it all behind. Like a weight I'm shaking off this heavy load
I may never learn but everything I got I earned by
Chorus
Doing things the hard way Nothing's ever easy for me
But that's the way I like it I gotta work to be free
Doing things the hard way Waiting for my day to come
And I dont mind getting my hands dirty just to get the job done
All I got is time and I'm gonna make this life mine
By doing things the hard way
If I'd done what my momma told me
I'd be a preacher in my home town chasing sins that weren't mine
If I'd done what you told me baby
I'd be your puppett on a string but maybe
You 'd still be mine
Oh but I threw it all away cause the only way I play
