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!
