  • The harder you work, the luckier you get
    The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
    Write it down so you never forget
    The harder you work, the luckier you get

    When I turned thirteen, my old man sat me down
    He said, "Boy, there's only two ways out of this town
    That Greyhound bus that's boot camp-bound
    Put your nose in a book, keep your ear to the ground"

    So I set off to college, but it weren't for me
    So I got a guitar and started playin' for free
    Wrote a couple hundred bad ones 'til I had two or three
    I thought was good enough folks might pay me to sing

    The harder you work, the luckier you get
    The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
    Write it down so you never forget
    The harder you work, the luckier you get

    Heard far less yes' than I have no's
    Seen far less highs than I have lows
    Rather get to the top steady and slow
    Than get there too fast with nowhere to go

    The harder you work, the luckier you get
    The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
    Write it down so you never forget
    The harder you work, the luckier you get

    The harder you work, the luckier you get
    The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
    Write it down so you never forget
    The harder you work, the luckier you get Writer/s: Bradley Justin Barham
