Lessons Learned Lyrics

I was 10 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
And they sure run deep.
They don't go away
And they don't come cheap.
Oh, there's no way around it,
As 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.
But, 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
And they sure run deep.
They don't go away
And they don't come cheap.
Oh, there's no way around it,
As this world turns.
Oh, lessons learned.

Oh, lessons learned
And they sure run deep.
They don't go away
And they don't come cheap.
Oh, there's no way around it,
As this world turns.
Oh, lessons learned.
