Some people gotta learn the hardway,
I guess I'm the kinda guy
That has to find out for myself.
I had to learn the hardway, Father,
I'm on my knees and I'm cryin' for help.
Now I've been high, and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
But I've been searchin' for a long, long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
(Chorus)
