So let me tell a story friend
'Bout 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 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 got words they'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 make it through

I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man

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