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
There's just some things son that you just don't do
Is anything I'm saying getting through
So daddy I can see the light
Oh lessons learned and they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it this world turns
Oh lessons learned
Granddaddy was a man I loved
He bought me my first ball and glove
He even taught me how to drive this truck
Circling that old town square
He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
But I never heard him cause I knew it all
But I sure listened when I got the call
That he was no longer there
Oh lessons learned and they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it this world turns
Oh lessons learned
Oh lessons learned and they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it 'cause this world turns
All lessons learned
