You’ll Have to Earn It by Jim Lauderdale

You’ll Have to Earn It Lyrics

The things that I've taken for granted
Out weigh the few things that I haven't
If you'd take me back I'd prefer it
But I know that I'll have to earn it
Just give me the chance and I'll show you
I want you to be proud I know you
I want you to feel like I'm worth it
But I know that I'll have to earn it

I know actions speak louder than words
Told you things you've already heard
I've got all my work cut out for me
If I want to get back to your world

Remember the path we have taken
I don't want that to be forsaken
I pray that you'll soon be returnin'
But I know that I'll have to earn it

I know actions speak louder than words
Told you things you've already heard
I've got all my work cut out for me
If I want to get back to your world

Remember the path we have taken
I don't want that to be forsaken
I pray that you'll soon be returnin'
But I know that I'll have to earn it
I want you to feel like I'm worth it
But I know that I'll have to earn it

Oh but I know that I'll have to earn it
