Nick Hickman - Lessons Learned

{Verse 1}
How does your momma know exactly what to say when you're down?
How does your daddy know to check the oil before you leave town?
How do they know when you lie after the perfect alibi?
How do they know when something ain't right?

{Chorus}
'Cause they've been there, they've done that
Walked uphill, there and back
Broke some hearts (Broke some hearts)
And had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught
But in the end it's what taught 'em
All the wisdom earned comes from the lessons learned

{Verse 2}
We'd always say that we knew everything about everything
Couldn't tell us nothing 'bout nothign 'cause anything we ain't seen
But you learned pretty quick, in the end you don't know (?...)
Take some falling down to admit

{Chorus}
'Cause they've been there, they've done that
Walked uphill, there and back
Broke some hearts (Broke some hearts)
And had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught
But in the end it's what taught 'em
All the wisdom earned comes from the lessons learned

{Bridge}
Thank God, young and dumb leads to old and wise
I didn't know it back then but now I see why
It's hard to teach if you've never been taught
And it's hard to learn a lesson if you've never been caught

{Chorus}
They've been there, they've done that
Walked uphill, there and back
Broke some hearts (They broke some hearts)
And had the favor returned
They stretched the truth and they got caught
But in the end it's what taught 'em
All the wisdom earned comes from the lessons learned

{Post-Chorus}
I'm thankful now for the lessons learned
I'm thankful now for the lessons learned
I'm thankful now for the lessons learned
I'm thankful now for the lessons learned
