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 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
