LYRICS:
You're cruising 'round the boulevard - your gauge is quickly moving down
Pull in to get a little fuel - your card's declined, but that's not new
Your benefits are running low and minutes dwindling on your phone
You'll never make it on your own - and it's too late to go back home
A graduate of Tough Luck U - Now it's time to get a clue

CHORUS - Learning the hard way - learning faster as you go
Learning the hard way - Can't hold you down or hit you low

Now you think you're in the clear - getting out of 2nd gear
Increasing speed and gaining ground - just don't look back or turn around

Learning the hard way - learning faster as you go
Learning the hard way - can't hold you down or hit you low
Learning the hard way - learning faster as you go
Learning the hard way - can't hold you down or hit you low

Moving on to higher ground
Moving on to higher ground
Moving on - Moving on - Moving on

Instrumental

Learning the hard way - learning faster as you go
Learning the hard way - can't hold you down or hit you low
Learning the hard way - learning faster as you go
Learning the hard way - can't hold you down or hit you low
Learning the hard way.

Learning The Hard Way

Written by Frank Falgares and Susan Odella. Guitar by Falgares, vocals, production & mix by Odella, fiddle by Luke Moller, and dobro by Raymond Klassen.
LYRICS:
TRAVELING UP THIS HILL AGAIN WE LOOK BACK TO SEE HOW FAR WE’VE COME
THE MOUNTAINS ARE AHEAD AND THE WEATHER’S LOOKING BAD BUT WE JUST KEEP MOVING ON
(chorus)               FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…. FIND A WAY…  WE’RE MOVING ON, 
                              BREAK THROUGH THE FEELINGS
                              FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY… WE’RE MOVING ON,      
                              SHATTERING THE PAST.   NOW THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO,
                              LOOKING  OUT  FOR  YOU.
 CLIMBING  UP  THIS  MOUNTAIN  LOOKING  FOR  A  PLACE  TO  MAKE  OUR  STAND 
SEARCHING FOR A SHELTER, A SAFE PLACE TO CARRY OUT A FUTURE PLAN 
(chorus)               FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY…WE’RE MOVING ON, 
                                BREAK THROUGH THE FEELINGS
                                FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY… WE’RE MOVING ON,      
                              SHATTERING THE PAST.   NOW THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO,
                              LOOKING OUT FOR YOU                       
 CROSSING EVERY OCEAN – WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A PROMISED LAND.  
 CRAWLING THROUGH THE DESERTS OFTEN SCARED WE’D NEVER FIND A HELPING HAND.
(chorus)               FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY… WE’RE MOVING ON, 
                                BREAK THROUGH THE FEELINGS
                              FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY…WE’RE MOVING ON,      
                              SHATTERING THE PAST.  NOW THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO,
                              LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
 SOARING THROUGH THE SKIES TRYING TO NAVIGATE OUR WAY TO WHAT WE BELIEVE 
AND WHAT WE KNOW IS TRUE CAN BE FOUND IN THE GROUND OF WORK THAT’S LEFT TO DO
(chorus)               FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY…WE’RE MOVING ON, 
   BREAK THROUGH TO HEALING
  FIND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD…FIND A WAY… WE’RE MOVING ON   SHATTERING THE PAST. 
  NOW THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO, LOOKING OUT FOR YOU – LOOKING OUT FOR YOU – LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
