Hard Lesson

Hard Lesson - Dj Boothby Eddie Boothby A raw country-rap ballad about losing a dad too soon, the regrets that linger, and doing whatever it takes to keep his memory alive. Lyrics & Production: 2016 Eddie Boothby Released: 2025 I can still see the days, sun slidin’ through the old blinds Just a green kid back then, tryna figure out the times You were my first road map… taught me every hard lesson I learned Now I’m lookin’ up, wishin’ I could hear your voice ring true The regret hits me hard for the miles I didn’t drive through Shoulda stayed a little later, but the clock kept runnin’ wild Yeah, you got your wings now… I gotta keep your memory runnin’ till the day that I die I wrote these lyrics years ago for somebody else and we kept them private. Never thought they’d end up meaning so much to me. Then I lost my dad way too soon… my mom right after him… and my grandmother not long behind them. These words hit different now. They hit home. I really wish I’d hit the road more often for those visits. The hurt is in missing their voices-one last time. Some nights I look up at the sky and just wait… dreaming of the day I’ll hear them again.
