I had a good job and a good lovin' woman
But the world fell apart and then I lost them
Now I can't pay the loans or the overdue fines

Can't drink enough whiskey to make it alright

But the tide will turn

Cause I have learned

There ain't no way but the hard way get used to it

I said there ain't no way but the hard way
so get used to it


You say I drink too much and that it's a problem
But that's how it goes when you hit rock bottom
Don't need your advice or your helping hand

Cause I'm living on the road in a rock'n'roll band

The time will turn

And you will learn

There ain't no way but the hard way get used to it

I said there ain't no way but the hard way
So get used to it


The tide will turn yes it will
I'm gonna roll on
I'm gonna stand strong

For the long haul
Its rock'n'roll


When the chips are down
You gotta make your play


Cause there ain't no way
But the hard way
There ain't no way

But the hard way
I said there ain't no way
But the hard way

Oh no there ain't no way
But the hard way


There ain't no way but the hard way Get used to it
I said there ain't no way but the hard way
So get used to it

There ain't no way but the hard way
No way but the hard way
No way but the hard way so get used to it

The tide will turn
