Learning As I Go

When I look back now
I know I should have stayed in school
But I couldn't wait to get away
To drink some beer and shoot some pool
As I stood on that assembly line
it started to make sense
My higher education
is my life experience

I was a hard-headed, hair-trigger son of a gun
with a jacked up, short bed 3/4 ton
raising hell and having fun and stubborn as a mule
I didn't give a damn, I was cocky and young
never did like living under anyone's thumb
But life's teaching me the rules
there was so much I didn't know
but I'm learning as I go.

I try to be a better father
than I ever was a son
I try to give as much as I get these days
but I don't always get it done
Thinking 'bout those early days and
lookin' back now
I know I made it through 'em
But sometimes I wonder how

I was a hard-headed, hair-trigger son of a gun
with a jacked up, short bed 3/4 ton
raising hell and having fun and stubborn as a mule
I didn't give a damn, I was cocky and dumb
never did like living under anyone's thumb
but the world won't wait for fools
there was so much I didn't know
but I'm learning as I go.

When they handed out diplomas
No I wasn't there in line
But that school of hard knocks polished me
'til I began to shine

I was a hard-headed, hair-trigger son of a gun
with a jacked up, short bed 3/4 ton
raising hell and having fun and stubborn as a mule
I didn't give a damn, I was cocky and young
and you never would have guessed what I'd become
But God's given me the tools
there's still so much that I don't know
but I'm learning as I go

Learning as I go
Still learning as I go
