The Hard Way by Turnpike Troubadours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I just hit town
You know the old routine
Try to tear it down
Like you've never seen
It’s a brand new year
Feels like '27 warmed over
'27 warmed over

[Chorus]
On the road again, off of Highway 10
In a cabin on a rural route
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
How fast I can wear my welcome out

[Verse 2]
Lord I miss this place
Could have stayed
Instead tried to keep the pace
Out at Diamond Head
I was almost there
Silver medal for the loser
Silver medal for the loser
[Chorus]
On the road again, off of Highway 10
In a cabin on a rural route
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
How fast I can wear my welcome out

[Hook]
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
I'm gonna figure out the hard way

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Now I'm headed out
With the same unrest
Tried to tear it down
But it was unimpressed
Used to feel like home
It was rolling in the clover now
'27 warmed over now
It’s '27 warmed over

[Chorus]
On the road again, off of Highway 10
In a cabin on a rural route
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
How fast I can wear my welcome out
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
How fast I can wear my welcome out
