Lessons
Now it's true my mama told me
That I write too many sad songs
But when you figure it out
When the truth comes out
You do what you need to get along
So when you can step back
Check the facts and relax
For what will be will be
Some lessons we learn the hard way
And on this one we all agree
That sometimes it ain't right
And sometimes it ain't fair
By the time you think you've got it figured out
You realize you ain't gone nowhere
Well you can sit and stew
And wonder what to do
Or you can just kick back and get high
Sometimes a little love
Is all we need to get by
Now there's a pill to keep you happy
And a pill to fall asleep
But where's the pill that kills the pain
From all the secrets that you keep
It's always good until it isn't
And when it isn't good no more
That's when we are reminded
Of the lessons we learned before
That sometimes it ain't right
And sometimes it ain't fair
By the time you think you've got it figured out
You realize you ain't gone nowhere
Well you can sit and stew
And wonder what to do
Or you can just kick back and get high
Sometimes a little love
Is all we need to get by
That I write too many sad songs
But when you figure it out
When the truth comes out
You do what you need to get along
So when you can step back
Check the facts and relax
For what will be will be
Some lessons we learn the hard way
And on this one we all agree
That sometimes it ain't right
And sometimes it ain't fair
By the time you think you've got it figured out
You realize you ain't gone nowhere
Well you can sit and stew
And wonder what to do
Or you can just kick back and get high
Sometimes a little love
Is all we need to get by
Now there's a pill to keep you happy
And a pill to fall asleep
But where's the pill that kills the pain
From all the secrets that you keep
It's always good until it isn't
And when it isn't good no more
That's when we are reminded
Of the lessons we learned before
That sometimes it ain't right
And sometimes it ain't fair
By the time you think you've got it figured out
You realize you ain't gone nowhere
Well you can sit and stew
And wonder what to do
Or you can just kick back and get high
Sometimes a little love
Is all we need to get by
