1. TOO BAD

Father's hands are lined with dirt
From long days in the field
Mother's hands are serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about
Is how it's so bad, it's so bad

[Chorus]
It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You'd call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it
And how it's so bad, it's so bad

[Chorus]

It's so bad

[Chorus]

Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
We made it out
We still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
And how it's so bad,
It's so bad (x3)

[Chorus]

It's so bad

[Chorus]

No time
Let's walk
Let's talk

3. LEARN THE HARD WAY

Hey there little darling, where'd the old man gone?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til' the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight

Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
Then the old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch

[Chorus]
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way

Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Put your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Cause she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should

Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night

[Chorus]

Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til' the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight

Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch

[Chorus] (x2)
