He's got a mountain of bills, got dirt on his hands There's been generations that's been workin' the land Here's his ghost sayin' Son, everyone gotta face the hard truth
And it be up to you to do The hardest you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, hard to know You do best and leave the rest To chance, fate, God or Whatever you through
She can't stand the in her little boy's eyes Dad has come home crazy too many times My mamma's on the telephone line Child, sometimes you gotta think mournin' you
And you might be forced to The hardest thing ever have to do
on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know You do best, leave the rest To chance, fate, God or Whatever gets you through, gets you through
Now everybody's find themselves a fork in the road No clear direction, wondering way to go And it hurts like hell, your conscience Any way you you lose
just getting through might be The thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, hard to know You do your best and leave the To chance, fate, God or Whatever gets you through, whatever gets you through,
The hardest (The hardest thing, the thing) It might be your hardest to do, yeah (The thing, the hardest thing)
The thing, the hardest thing The thing, the hardest thing (You might face your own truth) The hardest thing, the hardest
