So let me tell a story friend Of diamond hands and one night stands I guess the good life paid you once or twice Just when I thought I had it all Caught a sucker punch and lost it all Just never thought it would have come from you So here I stand alone again With one eye open I'm a broken man Life flashed before my eyes but I'm alive I found out the hard way And your day's coming soon I found out the hard way I pray you'll make it through So what am I supposed to do When all I've got is God and you I guess I'll trust the one I can't see As I sit here on this park bench Knowing what you are thinking I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep So here I stand alone again Talking to my faceless friend At least when we've got words We're eye to eye I found out the hard way And your day's coming soon I found out the hard way I pray you'll make it through I found out the hard way And your day's coming soon I found out the hard way I pray you'll make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I'm just a simple man make it through I found out the hard way And your day's coming soon I found out the hard way I pray you'll make it through I found out the hard way And your day's coming soon I found out the hard way I pray you'll make it through the hard way the hard way
