One Thing I Can Tell You
I worked and struggled
My life has been good and hard
Nothing came for free
Just wasn't in the cards
One thing I can tell you
Don't ever let down your guard
When I was a young man
I was full of hope
Believed in happy endings
I was really a dope
Now I know a little better
I know the game is rough
Bad guys play to win
Bad guys they're tough
I worked and struggled
My life has been good and hard
One thing I can tell you
Don't ever let down your guard
I've love and lost
Sometimes I loved and won
Once love was all I wanted
You know, I really had some fun
One thing I can tell you
Love will really keep you on the run
Had me a baby
Proved that I'm a man
Don't need to do it again
Already know I can
Used to think pretty women
Would worship at my feet
Women took what they wanted
Left me on my knees
I've love and lost
Sometimes I loved and won
One thing I can tell you
Love will really keep you on the run
I tried to change the world
Now I'm saving my own neck
I stamped my feet and hollered
There was no change I could detect
One thing I can tell you
Nobody's changed this damn world yet
This world is so corrupt
Everybody grabbing what they can
Ain't too many saints
That's all part of the plan
Get so mean and crazy
We'll all go raving mad
Blow this world to hell
Start all over from scratch
I tried to change the world
Now I'm saving my own neck
One thing I can tell you
Nobody's changed this damn world yet
