[00:01.98]The Hard Way
[00:02.54].
[00:02.92]
[00:15.76]Only fools would race down Grist Mill Road
[00:20.75]
[00:21.81]Let alone in angry weather
[00:25.50]
[00:28.74]That what I tell everyone I know
[00:33.11]
[00:34.41]Now that I know better
[00:37.66]
[00:40.34]That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
[00:43.02]Without havin' to watch my Mustang burn
[00:45.70]
[00:46.45]Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt
[00:49.72]An' his whole life changed
[00:51.47]
[00:54.34]That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
[00:58.96].
[01:03.49]Only a fool would keep a diamond ring
[01:08.74]
[01:09.67]In a box on the top of his closet
[01:13.60]
[01:15.91]He came so close; he almost asked
[01:21.09]
[01:22.21]It was right there in his pocket
[01:26.52]
[01:28.27]That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
[01:31.39]Before standin' in the back row of that church
[01:33.63]
[01:34.76]Watchin' her daddy givin' her
[01:36.63]
[01:37.70]To the man who took my place
[01:40.01]
[01:42.66]That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
[01:46.52].
[01:47.65]
[01:48.51]Regret's been know to give a man a beatin'
[01:52.13]
[01:54.68]But I ain't in the mood for fightin' back this evenin'
[01:59.05].
[01:59.49]
[02:03.98]Only fools don't take the time of day
[02:08.85]
[02:10.81]They stay too busy runnin'
[02:13.49]
[02:16.36]An' to stop just once to tell their Dad
[02:21.17]
[02:22.62]Just how much they love him
[02:26.49]
[02:28.61]That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
[02:30.98]
[02:31.61]Before that phone call came an' it was her
[02:34.67]No, Momma never had to say a word
[02:37.72]
[02:39.79]I knew it was too late
[02:41.60]
[02:44.75]That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
[02:50.49]
[02:52.55].
[02:55.80]The hard way
[02:57.36]
[03:02.16]The hard way
[03:04.10]
[03:08.40]The hard way
