Hi

Just heard a great Robin and Linda Williamson song called "Things I've Learned" Anyone got the lyrics?

As a mom that just moved out two kids, I thought it was a gas!

What do you say to a kid that has moved out for good?

*BYE*

THINGS I'VE LEARNED
(R & L Williams/J Clark)

I can't give you a lot
Cause there's lots I ain't got
And all the time that has sped
Is branded on my brain
Simple and plain
The things I've learned from life as it's led

Chorus:
I learned them in the bedroom
In the barroom
And in a hobo's hard-luck tale
I learned them in the grey gloom
Of a back room
As the light began to fail

I know them in my head
The things that I've heard said
The things I've learned day to day
The lessons of the years
The truths and the fears
The memories are never far away

Repeat chorus

I learned what I need to hear
And when to shut my ear
To things that make no sense
I learned how to reach
And I learned when to speak
And how to take the consequence

I learned it in the bedroom
In the barroom
And in a hobo's hard-luck tale
I learned it in the grey gloom
Of a back room
As the light began to fail
