Lyrics The Hard Way - Joe Bonamassa

The Hard Way

Real Audio Sample
Windows Media Sample
I’ve known this day was gonna come,
Will I be the one, will I be around?
I can feel something heavy on your mind,
Coming through again, coming down again.
I don’t know what I can do.
Got all those roads in front of ya, Which one will you choose?
Break down, break through — break anything you want.
Say that’s not you — holdin' the world up.
Every time you give, everything you got, you just wanna stop.
Think you’re going the wrong way.
You were never lost, didn’t know the cost,
Then you still get down — do it the hard way.
Love is so easy to refuse,
Easier to quit, easiest to lose.
You never let it make any sense,
Always hiding behind, all those words never said.
I’ve stood here as long as I can stand.
Now the cards are in your hands,
My heart is in your hands…
Break down, break through — break anything you want.
Say that’s not you — holdin' the world up.
Every time you give, everything you got, you just wanna stop.
Think you’re going the wrong way.
You were never lost, didn’t know the cost,
Then you still get down — do it the hard way.
Goin' the hard way — oh yeah…
(Short Lead Break)
Break down, break through — break anything you want.
Say that’s not you — holdin' the world up.
Every time you give, everything you got, you just wanna stop.
Think you’re going the wrong way.
You were never lost, didn’t know the cost,
Then you still get down — do it the hard way.
Do it the hard way…
Do it the hard way…
Do it the hard way…
Oh yeah…
