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
