I had a good job
And a good lovin´ woman
But the world fell apart
And then I lost her
I can´t bear to lose
I´ll be over to fight
Can´t drink enough whiskey
To make it all right

But the tide will turn
Cause I have learned

There ain´t no way but the hard way
Get used to it
I said there ain´t no way but the hard way
So get used to it

You say I drink too much
And that is a problem
But that´s how it goes
When you hit rock bottom
Don´t need your advice
Or your helping hand
Cause I´m living on the road
In a rock and roll band

The time will turn
And you will learn

There ain´t no way but the hard way
Get used to it
I said there ain´t no way but the hard way
So get used to it

The tide will turn (Yes it will) (Hey, hey)
I´m gonna roll on (Hey, hey)
I´m gonna stand strong (Hey, hey)
For the long haul (Hey, hey)
Its rock and roll

When the chips are down
You gotta make your play
´Cause there ain´t no way (But the hard way)
There ain´t no way (But the hard way)
I said there ain´t no way (But the hard way)
Oh no there ain´t no way
But the hard way

There ain´t no way but the hard way
Get used to it (Rock and roll)
I said there ain´t no way but the hard way
So get used to it

There ain´t no way but the hard way
No way but the hard way
No way but the hard way
So get used to it
The tide will turn
