A Hard Lesson to Learn Lyrics by Shooter Jennings

The Other Life

0

Well I heard Jimmie Rodgers sing
On my daddy's old record machine
Something 'bout how when you got love
All you got is love to lose
And if I learned one thing about hank
Is that him and his kid like to drink
Living whiskey bent, leads to the lovesick blues
Straight to hell
I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking
Lovin' and leavin' kind
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it
I'm loosing it with my mind
And you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs
Just one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle
Same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn
Well I heard that old George Jones
Bottomed out from all the no shows
Girl I'm watching my heroes ride away like hall up pow
And to live like a rolling stone
Ain't worth it if I gotta be alone
On a lost highway, the devil collects the tolls
Off the whiskey drinking, new low sinking
Lovin' leaving kind
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it
I'm loosing it with my mind
And you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs
Just one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle
Same old blues
And the same hard lesson to learn
Yeah, you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs
Just one way not to get burnt
But it's the same old bottle
Same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn
And it's the same old bottle
Same old blues
The same hard lesson to learn
