Hard Knocks Songtext
von Jon Pardi

Times are tough and gettin′ tougher
The water's high and gettin′ rougher
A lot of talk of goin' under
That's one thought, but I got another

I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don′t back down when the goin′ gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks

All the hate is gettin' bolder
All the words are gettin′ colder
The latest news is gettin' older
They all wanna cry, well, mine ain′t the shoulder


I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don't back down when the goin′ gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks

I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don't back down when the goin' gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks
Any time hard knocks
