School of Hard Knocks

Well the last one hurt like hell Knocked the wind right outta my sails And I¹ll heal up someday But it¹s gonna leave a beauty of a scar I think I¹m gonna get drunk, pull the tire iron outta my trunk Bang up all of my fenders Just so they can match my heart I¹m trying to get myself an education Cry one more tear towards graduation Every Sunday punch I've thrown has come back around to clean my clock The bell is ringin¹, down at the school of hard knocks They¹re gonna inscribe my name at the Bridge Burners¹ Hall of Fame As a fool who never learned there ain¹t no future in it Some lessons we learn with ease Baby most bring us to our knees I wish I could learn about love without another woodshed visit I¹m trying to get myself an education Cry one more tear towards graduation Every Sunday punch I¹ve thrown has come back around to clean my clock / The bell is ringin¹, down at the school of hard knocks A little kiss and a Band-aid makes those skint knees heal up fine But there ain¹t nothin¹ gonna heal this heart but time While I¹m gettin¹ myself an education Cry one more tear towards graduation Every Sunday punch I¹ve thrown has come back around to clean my clock / The bell is ringin¹, down at the school of hard knocks Yeah, I¹m a straight A student down at the school of hard knocks
