	Wouldn't it be easier if we learned things the easy way the first time instead of having to go back around the mountain and learn them the hard way?

	Story Behind the Song My mom always used to tell me that it would be better if I learned my lesson the easy way first. Otherwise I would have to go back around the mountain again and learn it harder the next time. Finally got around to writing a song using her good words of advice. Lyrics Well I opened up my mouth today I just stood and watched my words streak your face And all that I can say is I’m sorry Though I don't expect to reap any benefit From my apology for it’s clear to me That it won't be the first or the last time that you'll hear it For I've come to find out that I'm set in my ways But by the grace of God I pray that will change I'm a stubborn man God knows what I am Had to find out the hard way what could have been If I'd listened and learned ‘stead of taking a turn round the mountain Well I’m here to ask, no, I’m here to beg Is there anything I might do or say To convince you it’s worth hanging around for a little while longer I’m not trying to duck, dodge, or make a deal I know what I’ve done, how it made you feel I’ve got a long way to go and I know He’s not through with me yet If I could just learn to lay my pride down Give up myself and let Him wear the crown Well you know He promised to make me a new man then How I wish I had learned ‘stead of taking a turn round the mountain Words & Music Copyright © 2001 Dawson Cowals.
