Lyrics
The Hard Way Home
She seduced me with her wit, entranced me with her style,
I took her home sat her down for tea,
When she tried to grab my soul,
I took the hard way home,
I drove 100,000 miles with the pedal to the metal,
Got a fine patina etched all over me,
And when things get too familiar,
I take the hard way home,
There was no single purpose save for survival,
Had to find a way to fill my requisite needs,
Sometimes I light a candle,
And I can see what I used to believe,
And if it gets too real,
I’ll take The Hard Way Home,
There’s no future in dreaming said the well-intentioned voices,
As they sat me down and chastised me,
It was time to reconfigure,
I took the hard way home,
There was poison in my blood, bile in my mind,
I was the hot mess kid,
The life it came a calling,
I took the hard way home,
There was no single purpose save for survival…
