He's got a mountain of bills, he's got dirt on his There's been three generations that's been the land Here's his granddaddy's sayin' Son, everyone face the long hard truth
And it be up to you to do The hardest thing you'll ever to do
Holdin' on, go, right or wrong, it's hard to know You do best and leave the rest To chance, fate, God or Whatever gets you
She can't stand the fear in her boy's eyes Dad has come home actin' crazy too times My mamma's on the telephone saying Child, sometimes you think about mournin' you
And you might be to chose The hardest you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's to know You do best, leave the rest To chance, fate, God or Whatever gets you through, gets you through

Sometimes just through might be The hardest you'll ever have to do

The thing (The hardest thing, the thing) It be your hardest thing to do, yeah (The hardest thing, the thing)
The thing, the hardest thing The hardest thing, the hardest (You might face your own truth) The hardest thing, the thing
