Lyrics
It?s Hard
Lyrics and Music by Nick McDermott
V1: It was late
On a Friday Night
Storm clouds rollin? in on a full moon
I was Nineteen
She was not
I was Knock-Kneed not knowin? what to do
I had a fake I.D.
She grabbed the bar stool right next to me
Sure put a dent in the house whiskey
Build: In a wink it was last call
And I was headed for a big fall
Chorus: And it?s hard
Learnin? ?bout love
When every time you turn around
Another one?s down
And it?s hard
Learnin? ?bout love
I was lost in the woods
But it felt so good
I?ll always be a fool
?cause there?s no end to this school
All these lessons about love
V2: Now the car?s parked
In the pourin? rain
And I?m knee-deep and not turnin? back
Kisses so sweet I just had to say
?Darlin? you and me just might be where it?s at.?
She said, ?Now wait a minute,
Don?t be lookin? past the fun of this
I?m not tryin? to make you my man.?
Build: No time to turn around
The deal was goin? down
(repeat chorus)
Bridge: You can stand up so proud and tall
But you end up with your back to the wall
Face down is gonna change your attitude
When she?s done with you
there ain?t nothin? left to loose
(solo 8 bars)
(repeat chorus with tag)
