Lyrics
[instrumental introduction]
[chorus]
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
Another lesson learned is worth my time
and burns me deep inside.
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
It's just the way I learn and how I burn.
[Spoken verse 1]
No shortcut made the cut
no free-rider was worth his salt.
No flash in the pan, ain't part of the plan I,
I'm here to stay...
Directionless won't get you this
can't base a plan on hit and miss
A sure-fire, smith-wesson for hire...
get it done today...
[bridge]
Sometimes I feel like I'm fading,
fading away....
[chorus]
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
Another lesson learned is worth my time
and burns me deep inside.
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
It's just the way I learn and how I burn.
[spoken verse 2]
I like the fork in the road
the unread chapter still untold
an un-played chord that's never heard
Let's let it play.
A drum-fill slightly out of time
I tread the road I walk the line
I place my bets...just in time and I'll,
get it done today
[bridge]
Sometimes I feel like I'm fading,
fading away....
[chorus]
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
Another lesson learned is worth my time
and burns me deep inside.
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
It's just the way I learn and how I burn.
[12 bar guitar solo]
[reprise chorus]
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
Another lesson learned is worth my time
and burns me deep inside.
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
It's just the way I learn and how I burn.
[full chorus]
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
Another lesson learned is worth my time
and burns me deep inside.
I like the hard way,
Don't like it easy,
It's just the way I learn and how I burn.
