Перевод песни Johnny Cash - The hard way

Oh, the hells I
Put myself through
The fights I didn’t need to fight
This thick head of mine
Yoyu couldn’t get through
Had to do it wrong just to get it right
Just to get it right

I learned the hard way
But the hard way taught me well
The hard way
Sure put this boy through hell
The hard way
It taught me how to tell
The right way from the wrong
And on which side I belong on

Deep are the memories
As a young boy
Of the lessons that I learned
My mama warned me
That fire is no toy
You play with fire boy and you get burned
Oh I got burned

And learned the hard way
But the hard way taught me well
The hard way
Sure put this boy through hell
The hard way
It taught me how to tell
The right way from the wrong
And on which side I belong on

What others learned in Sunday school
I learned by gettin’ black n’ blue

The hard way
I learned the hard way
