[Intro]                 [Verse] You save your money boy bought you some shoes The highway called and you heard it’s cue   I know you thought you had it beat But now you’re leaving on a one way street          [Chorus] It’s a hard hard lesson but you’re gonna have to learn it It’s a long cold swim  up against the current Somewhere down the line you’re gonna have to turn it around Boy right now you’re nowhere bound                           [Verse] Her words still echo in your mind But fade away as you cross the county line Running from trouble or from the truth It doesn’t matter either way you lose [Chorus] It’s a hard hard lesson but you’re gonna have to learn it It’s a long cold swim up against the current Somewhere down the line you’re gonna have to turn it around Boy right now you’re nowhere bound                            [Bridge] Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks But you turn around and find that it’s twenty miles back And it’s never gonna change if you keep on leaving Your heart’s gonna break but never break even [Verse] Where to now do you know? One thing’s for certain gonna reap just what you sow And all you planted was heartache and pain Don’t look now but it looks like rain [Chorus] It’s a hard hard lesson but you’re gonna have to learn it It’s a long cold swim  up against the current Somewhere down the line you’re gonna have to turn it around Boy right now you’re nowhere bound
