Harder Way

[Verse 1]
Looking out at the road before me
I can feel it heavy in my eyes
Further down there's a woman waiting
But this leavin' don't come as no surprise

[Verse 2]
Looking out over Colorado
I can see ten different kinds of gold
Faded now like a river wonderin'
Just how long it'll be 'til I've grown old

[Chorus]
You'd think by now I'd have learned
Well there ain't much more to say
This road can give and take away
And I know that I'll see harder days
I guess I've learned the harder way
To go

[Verse 3]
On my own in a crowd of people
I'm reminded of the seeds that I have sown
Left alone as a young boy waiting
For the leader of the band to come back home

[Chorus]
You'd think by now I'd have learned
Well there ain't much more to say
This road can give and take away
And I know that I'll see harder days
I guess I've learned the harder way
To go
