Nick Hickman - Lessons Learned Lyrics

Lessons Learned (Glasscock, Hickman)

V
How does your momma know exactly what to say when your down
How does your daddy know to check the oil before you leave town
How do they know when you lie after the perfect alibi
How do they know when something aint right

C
Cause they've been there they've done that walked up hill there and back
They broke some hearts and had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught but in the end its what taught em
That all the wisdom earned comes from them lessons learned

V
We'd always say that we knew everything about everything
You couldn't tell us nothing bout nothing cause aint a thing we aint seen
But you learn pretty quick in the end you don't know it
It takes some falling down to admit

C
Cause they've been there they've done that walked up hill there and back
They broke some hearts and had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught but in the end its what taught em
That all the wisdom earned comes from them lessons learned

B
Thank God young and dumb leads to old and wise
I didn't know it back then but now I see why
Its hard to teach if you've never been taught
And its hard to learn a lesson if you've never been caught

C
They've been there they've done that walked up hill there and back
They broke some hearts and had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught but in the end its what taught em
That all the wisdom earned comes from them lessons learned"
