We Learned The Hard Way | Standing Alone D

Left my hometown in a cloud of dust. An old pickup truck and a pocket full of trust. 19 years of learning what to fear. Now the rearview mirror is the only thing that’s clear. Daddy said the world don’t owe you a dime. You got to earn your keep one day at a

time. And I am running down this open road learning how to carry my own heavy load. No longer just a boy in the shadows light, I’m stepping out ready for the fight. Yeah, I am standing on my own tonight. Found a job swinging hammers in the heat.

Blisters on my hands and fire in my feet. Met a girl who saw right through the pride, taught me how to keep the beast inside. Every scar I got is a lesson brand new. Carving out the man I’m turning into. And I am running down this open road.

Learning how to carry my own heavy load. No longer just a boy in the shadows light, I’m stepping out ready for the fight. Yeah, I am standing on my own tonight.

It’s a long way up when you start from the ground, but I ain’t looking [singing] back. I’m never turning around. I can feel the change coming over me now. STANDING ON MY YEAH, I’M A MAN TONIGHT. Standing on my own. Hello.
