From the recording V
Lyrics
Hard Life PHD
Late to bed, early to rise
Makes a man worn out, weary, and wise
A penny saved is a penny earned
Life aint fair, lesson earned
Gas, groceries, tax and rent
Money made already spent
A bird in hand’s worth two in the bush
it’s all up hill, get out and push!
(Chorus)
Aint got no high-brow education
Aint got no ivy league degree
Tattoos, scars, and a reputation
A hard life PHD
Lie with dogs wake up with fleas
You’ll go far on “Thanks” and “Please”
Well done always beats well said.
You need good friends on the road ahead.
You never know what you can do
Till the chips are down and it’s up to you
Every lesson learned my friend
You can bet your ass you’ll learn again
(Chorus)
Aint got no high-brow education
Aint got no ivy league degree
Tattoos, scars, and a reputation
A hard life PHD
(Chorus)
Aint gotta high-brow education
No ivy league degree
Tattoos, scars, and a reputation
A hard life PHD
