I had a good job and a good lovin' woman
But the world fell apart and then I lost them
Now I can't pay the loans or the overdue fines
Can't drink enough whiskey to make it alright
But the tide will turn
Cause I have learned
There ain't no way but the hard way get used to it
I said there ain't no way but the hard way
so get used to it
You say I drink too much and that it's a problem
But that's how it goes when you hit rock bottom
Don't need your advice or your helping hand
Cause I'm living on the road in a rock'n'roll band
The time will turn
And you will learn
There ain't no way but the hard way get used to it
I said there ain't no way but the hard way
So get used to it
The tide will turn yes it will
I'm gonna roll on
I'm gonna stand strong
For the long haul
Its rock'n'roll
When the chips are down
You gotta make your play
Cause there ain't no way
But the hard way
There ain't no way
But the hard way
I said there ain't no way
But the hard way
Oh no there ain't no way
But the hard way
There ain't no way but the hard way Get used to it
I said there ain't no way but the hard way
So get used to it
There ain't no way but the hard way
No way but the hard way
No way but the hard way so get used to it
The tide will turn
