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 Said 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 oh 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 ol' town square He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl 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
