Lyrics Turnpike Troubadours

Turnpike Troubadours

The Hard Way

Well I just hit town

You know the old routine

Try to tear it down

Like you've never seen

It's a brand new year

Feels like '27 warmed over

'27 warmed over

On the road again, off of Highway 10

In a cabin on a rural route

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

How fast I can wear my welcome out

Lord I miss this place

Could have stayed

Instead tried to keep the pace

Out at Diamond Head

I was almost there

Silver medal for the loser

Silver medal for the loser

On the road again, off of Highway 10

In a cabin on a rural route

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

How fast I can wear my welcome out

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

Now I'm headed out

With the same unrest

Tried to tear it down

But it was unimpressed

Used to feel like home

It was rolling in the clover now

'27 warmed over now

It's '27 warmed over

On the road again, off of Highway 10

In a cabin on a rural route

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

How fast I can wear my welcome out

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

How fast I can wear my welcome out
