"A Hard Lesson To Learn" lyrics - SHOOTER JENNINGS

Well, I heard Jimmie Rogers sing
On my daddy's old record machine
Something 'bout how when you got love
All you got is love to lose
And if I learned one thing about Hank
Is that him and his kid like to drink
Living whiskey bent, these still lovesick blues
Straight to hell

I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking
Love 'em and leave 'em kind
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it
I'm losing it with my mind

Anything I pick up from one of them songs
Just a one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle, same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn

Well, I heard that old George Jones
Bottomed out from all the no shows
Girl, I'm watching my heroes rot away like a hollow pole
And I live like a rolling stone
It ain't worth it if I gotta be alone
I'm a lost highway, the devil collects the tolls

I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking
Love and leaving kind
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it
I'm losing it with my mind

Anything I pick up from one of them songs
Just a one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle, same old blues
And the same hard lesson to learn

Anything I pick up from one of them songs
Just a one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle, same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn
It's the same old bottle, same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn
