Learning As I Go

Well, I came into this world
Like a fighter on the ropes
Like a thumb stuck out in the wind
On the shoulder of the road
Some tumbleweed just rollin' on
Not sure where to blow
With every twist and every turn
I'm learnin' as I go

Well, I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' how to be
I'm learnin' how, when I break it down
There's little that I need
Say, "Sorry, man" when you need to and
Keep a pocket full of hope
I'm still a gun, but I've settled some
I'm learnin' as I go, yeah

Took a loose deal in a tight spot
It came back to bite me back
Had a feelin' in my gut
But I still shook his hand
He ran with all my money
Left me with the bag
Had to sell my truck, couldn't pay the note
And I'm learnin' as I go

I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' how to be
I'm learnin' how when I break it down
There's little that I need
Say, "Sorry, man" when you need to and
Keep a pocket full of hope
I'm still a gun, but I've settled some
I'm learnin' as I go

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Still crashin', still burnin' (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
This old world keeps turnin' (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Got a roadmap full of scars
And a pocket full of hope (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' as I go

Well, I broke her heart on a Tuesday
When I spoke the word "goodbye"
By Friday, I was empty as that fifth of July sky
When I saw her hold that other hand
It's like I saw a ghost
Little too slow on the trigger, oh
I'm learnin' as I go

I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' how to fly
Maybe I might get it right
Someday before I die

I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' how to be
I'm learnin' how, when I break it down
There's little that I need
Say, "Sorry, man" when you need to and
Keep a pocket full of hope
I'm still a gun, but I've settled some
I'm learnin' as I go

As I go, yeah (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
As I go (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
As I go
I'm learnin' as I go (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm learnin' as I go
I'm learnin' as I go
As I go
