So let me tell a story friend ‘bout diamond hands & one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice
Just when I thought I had it all caught a sucker punch & lost it all
Just never thought it would come from you
So here I stand alone again with one eye open, I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes but I'm alive

I found out
The hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through

So what am I supposed to do when all I've got is God & you?
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see
As I sit here on this park bench know'n what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep
So here I stand alone again talking to my faceless friend
At least when we got words they're eye to eye

I found out
The hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through

I just a simple man!
I just a simple man!
I just a simple man!

I found out
The hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through
