Lessons Learned - John Win$ton & Adele Roberts

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

Comes a time for everyone When all we have learned Is forgotten Then you find it all come undone And everything you've known Has gone away Try and mend what's left inside Makes the truth so hard to find Oooooh won't ya tell me What to do Lessons learned Bridges burned I was too blind to see Lessons Learned Pages turned All I'm left with is me Ain't it strange how life can be And all you believed to be real Ya finally got a dose of clarity Well this time the pain Ain't gonna heal It always feels like something's lost Regretful times when lines were crossed Oooooh won't you tell me What to do Lessons Learned Bridges burned I was too blind to see Lessons Learned Pages turned All I'm left with is me Lessons Learned Bridges burned I was too blind to see Lessons Learned Pages turned All I'm left with is me

Life lessons learned the hard way Four people waited in a random white unmarked van Parked outside your hotel high rise garage To use a tire iron to break the bones inside your legs Too bad you never came outside, that's all right 'Cause in the end you'll get wrecked Yeah, in the end you'll get wrecked I heard a little girl killed herself today That blood's on your hands (It's on your hands) When everyone knows your face, nothing's safe You'll live your life as a fucking target You've earned my disgust You've earned my disgust
