[Verse 1]

Once upon a time

There was a young boy

And he had no home

To call his own

'Cause the one that he came from

It was broken too

He was broken three

Broken in four

[Chorus]

So he took to the road

Well not that storybook road

But the road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

C Am Em

Yeah, that road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

[Verse 2]

Well, lessons were learned

And a heart it got burned

And the innocence turned

Like it will do

Into something tough as leather

Protect you from the weather

Yeah, some so tough

Nobody can hurt you

[Chorus]

So he took to the road

Well not that storybook road

But the road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

[Instrumental]

G Em C D

[Verse 3]

Now everybody's got

A path they must tread

And tread you must

Till your dead

But if that young boy

Could pass on one fine [?]

Said never let go

Of [?] scoldin' rain

[Bridge]

Don't become as tough as leather

Who cares about the weather

And always let love in

Even if it hurts you

[Chorus]

So he took to the road

Well not that storybook road

But the road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

C Am Em

Yeah, that road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

[Outro]

Yeah, we're all on the road

Not that storybook road

But the road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks

Yeah, we're all on the road

Not that storybook road

But the road where the hard knocks

Meet the hard rocks
