Johnny Cash - The Hard Way Lyrics

Oh, the hell I put myself through
The fights I didn't need to fight
This thick head of mine
You couldn't get through had to do it wrong
Just to get it right just to get it right

I learned the Hard Way
The hard way taught me well the hard way
Sure put me (this boy) through some hell
The hard way taught me how to tell
The right way from the wrong
And on which side I belong

Deep are the memories as a young boy
Of the lessons that I learned
My mama warning me that fire is no toy
You play with fire boy and you get burned
Oh I got burned
