A Hard Lesson To Learn Lyrics - The Other Life - Shooter Jennings

Well I heard Jimmy Rogers sing 

On my daddy's old record machine 

Something bout a when you got love 

All you got is love to lose 

And if I learned one thing about hank 

Is that him and his kid like to drink 

Living whiskey bent, feeling lovesick blues 

Straight to hell 

I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking 

Love em and leave em kind 

And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it 

I'm loosing it with my mind 

Anything I pick up from one of them songs 

Just a new way not to get burnt 

But it's the same old bottle 

Same old blues 

The same hard lesson to learn 

Well I heard that old George Jones 

Bottomed out from all the no shows 

Girl I'm watching my heroes run away like hall up pow 

And a little like a rolling stone 

I ain't worth it if I gotta be alone 

I'm a lost highway, the devil collects the tolls 

I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking 

Love and leaving kind 

And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it 

I'm loosing it with my mind 

Anything I pick up from one of men song 

Just a new way not to get burnt 

But it's the same old bottle 

Same old blues 

The same hard lesson to learn
