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 it does you

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

Is anything I'm sayin' gettin' through

I 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

He even taught me how to drive his truck

Circlin' that old 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

Oh, 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

Oh, lessons learned
