Grandpa dropped outta school in the fifth grade
Grandma barely made it past the eighth
So maybe it's alright if I only made it two weeks
At Oklahoma State
The kinda learning that I'm looking for
Ain't written out on a white board
I'm taking life lessons
Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond
And do some wild living
No, I ain't no preacher but there ain't no better teacher
Than a big old slice of humble pie
On the road of life to find what I've been missing
I'm taking life lessons
All that money from tuition fees
Could've been spent on gasoline
Get me from Stillwater to somewhere
Invest some sense in me
Pour some concrete, play guitar
Meet some strangers at a bar
Make a little change to get by
I'm taking life lessons
Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond
And do some wild living
No, I ain't no preacher but there ain't no better teacher
Than a big old slice of humble pie
On the road of life to find what I've been missing
I'm taking life lessons
Make a buck, fix my truck
F*ck around and fall in love
Shake a hand, make a friend
Bring a heart back to life again
I'm taking life lessons
Grow my hair too long, become a vagabond
And do some wild living
No, I ain't no preacher but there ain't no better teacher
Than a big old slice of humble pie
On the road of life to find what I've been missing
I'm taking life lessons, life lessons
Life lessons, life lessons
