Lessons Learned

I was ten years old the day I got caught

With some dime store candy that I never bought

I hung my head and I faced the wall

As daddy showed me wrong from right

He said, ?This hurts me more than it does you

There's just some things son, that you just don't do

Is anything I'm sayin' getting through?

?But daddy I can see the light?

Oh lessons learned, man, they sure run deep

They don't go away and they don't come cheap

Oh, there's no way around it

'Cause this world turns on lessons learned

Granddaddy was a man I loved

He bought me my first ball and glove

Even taught me how to drive his truck

Circling that old town square

He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl

But I never heard him 'cause I knew it all

But I sure listened when I got the call

That he was no longer there

Oh, lessons learned, man, they sure run deep

They don't go away and they don't come cheap

Oh, there's no way around it

'Cause this world turns on lessons learned

Oh, lessons learned, man they sure run deep

They don't go away and they don't come cheap

Oh, there's no way around it

'Cause this world turns on lessons learned
