Lyrics:
Bangin’ my head up against the wall ever since I was a kid
Could have took their advice for an easier life, but I guess I never did
Fightin’ off rednecks, getting handcuffed and hauled away
Now I’m rottin’ in hell in a county jail with nothing to say

And I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way yeah
I did it the hard way, now

Blew my money as fast as I made it never saved a dime
We’re all marks for banks and credit cards when we’re 25
Ten years later, well the IRS came knockin’ on my door
They said son, you better pay us 500Gs before we ask for more

And I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way yeah
I did it the hard way, now

In my broke down palace
With a heart as big as Dallas
Well young, dumb and risky
With a liver full of whiskey
Lookin’ back on them days
Being stuck in a cage
Well I did it, I did it the hard way

I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way

Tore up, drivin’ a 454 and feelin’ sky high
Until Johnny Law read me my rights for a DWI
Mandatory 30 days man in a little country jail
Now I’m waitin’ on cash from some biker crank just to pay my bail

And I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way
I did it thehard way yeah
I did it the hard way, now

Well, luck of the Irish or divine fate either way I survived
Now I’m kneelin’ on my knees at the foot of my bed and I’m grateful I’m alive
But the sh***y committee’s still raising Cain in the back of my head
Lord give me the sense not to jump the fence and wind up dead

And I did it the hard way
I did it the hard way yeah
(I did it the hard way)
(I did it the hard way)
(Well I did it the hard way yeah)
(Uh huh)
