So let me tell a story, friend
Of diamond hands and one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice


Just when I thought I had it all
Caught a sucker punch and lost it all

Just never thought it would have come from you

So here I stand alone again

With one eye open, I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive


I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through

So what am I supposed to do

When all I've got is God and you
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see


As I sit here on this park bench
Knowing what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep


So here I stand alone again
Talking to my faceless friend

At least when we've got words
We're eye to eye


I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through

I found out the hard way

And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through


I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)


I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon

I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through


I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way

I pray you'll make it through
