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 and 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) (Hey, hey)
I'm gonna roll on (Hey, hey)
I'm gonna stand strong (Hey, hey)
For the long haul (Hey, hey)
Its rock and 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 (Rock and roll)
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
