HARD LESSON ROAD
(K.S. Taylor & Ruby Lovett)

Wish I could’ve seen the dangers comin’
Wish I could’ve known what lay ahead
Maybe I’d’ve turned and started runnin’
Maybe I’d’ve taken another path instead

I told myself I knew where I was goin’
Had myself convinced I’d be alright
Never stopped to think who I’d be hurtin’
Never thought of how it could change my life

And I pray for peace in the morning
A little bit of comfort for my soul
And for strength to walk on while I’m learnin’
Traveling down life's hard lesson road

Watchin’ all the memories roll by me
Knowin’ that in time all hearts will mend
Passin’ up the things that used to tempt me
Knowin’ I will never go that way again

And I pray for peace in the morning
A little bit of comfort for my soul
And for strength to walk on while I’m learnin’
Traveling down life's hard lesson road
