Long Hard Lesson Learned Lyrics - John Anderson

A one way ticket is all we need 

No return, no guarantee 

Straight ahead and don't look back 

This train is on a one way track 

Oh life, it's a precious thing 

Dont waste it all worrying 

Time thats lost cant be returned 

Its another long hard lesson learned 

Teach your children not to hate 

Hope they learn before its too late 

To get rid of the bad laws and keep the good 

Save the oceans and the woods 

When will we all understand 

That the futures in our hands? 

Once its lost it cant be returned 

Its another long hard lesson learned 

I can see the writing on the wall 

Open up your eyes, y'all and heed the call 

When you play with fire, youre bound to get burned 

It's another long hard lesson learned 

Another long hard lesson learned 

Another long hard lesson learned 

Another long hard lesson learned
