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
