I was ten years old the day I got caught With some dime store candy that I never bought I hung my head and I faced the wall as Daddy showed me wrong from right He said this hurts me more than it does you Theres just some things son, that you just don't do Is anything I'm sayin' getting through Daddy I can see the light (Chorus) Oh Lessons learned, man they sure run deep They don't go away and they don't come cheap Oh theres no way around it Cause this world turns on lessons learned Granddaddy was a man I loved He bought me my first ball and glove Even taught me how to drive his old truck Circling that ol' town square He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl I never heard him cause I knew it all But I sure listened when I got the call That he was no longer there (Chorus) Oh Lessons learned, man they sure run deep They don't go away and they don't come cheap Oh theres no way around it cause this world turns On lessons learned (Solo|repeat chorus)
