Sides face grand square
*I was ten years old the day I got caught
With a matchbox car that I never bought
I hung my head and I faced the wall
Allemande and weave the ring
**He said this hurts me more than it does you
There's some things son, that you just don't do
Is anything I'm sayin getting through
Daddy I can see the light

* Daddy was a man I loved
He bought my my first ball and glove
Even taught me how to drive this truck

** Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Well there's no way around it 'cause this world turns
On lessons learned

* He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him, 'cause I knew it all
But I sure listened when I got the call

** Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Well there's no way around it 'cause this world turns
On lessons learned

Heads (Sides) promenade travel halfway round
Walk in and square thru four hands
All the way and a right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel
Centers square thru three hands round
Swing that girl, promenade
Oh there's no way around it 'cause this world turns
On lessons learned
