Seasick Steve – Hard Knocks lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
There was a young boy
And he had no home
To call his own
'Cause the one that he came from
It was broken too
He was broken three
Broken in four

[Chorus]
So he took to the road
Well not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

[Verse 2]
Well, lessons were learned
And a heart it got burned
And the innocence turned
Like it will do
Into something tough as leather
Protect you from the weather
Yeah, some so tough
Nobody can hurt you

[Chorus]
So you take to the road
Well not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

[Verse 3]
Now everybody's got
A path they must tread
And tread you must
Till your dead
But if that young boy
Could pass on one fine [?]
Said never let go
Of [?] scoldin' rain

[Bridge]
Don't become as tough as leather
Who cares about the weather
And always let love in
Even if it hurts you

[Chorus]
'Cause we're all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks

[Outro]
Yeah, we're all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
Yeah, we're all on the road
Not that storybook road
But the road where the hard knocks
Meet the hard rocks
