So let me tell a story, friend

Of diamond hands and 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 and lost it all

Just never thought it would have 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'll make it through.

So what am I supposed to do

When all I've got is god and you

I guess I'll trust the one I can't see.

As I sit here on this park bench

Knowing 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've got words

We'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'll make it through.

I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through.

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through.

I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through.
