School Of Hard Knocks - Farrell Jackson and Joseph Rodriguez original

[Farrell Jackson]

Here's one I wrote with Joseph Rodriguez called School Of Hard Knocks. Joseph did all the instruments and mix/production. I did the vocals, lyric, and melody.  Sometimes it feels good to rock a little....it keeps me young, lol.

School Of Hard Knocks

(V1) We've been down
In the mud
Found our strength
And up we stood

Fortitude
From within
Let it out
And you will win

(V2) Many jabs
In this life
Kick the bad
And do things right

Now we've got
A new outlook
From experience
Not a book

(Chr) We've been to the school of life's
Hard knocks
We've learned to roll with the punches
And how to rock

(V3) Grab this day
By the tail
Shake it hard
Like ringing a bell

Spin it around
Toss it about
Life is good
So shout it out

(Outro fill) Rock's our bread
Rock's our butter
Sing it sister
Shout it brother

In our heads
Under cover
Rock's forever
Peace to our brothers

Another great tune Farrell! You brought the song to life with your wurds and vox for sure.

Amazingly well produced old school rock!!! I'm loving the drums and the guitars. The harmonies are simply perfect!!!

You've been rockin pretty hard as of late my friend and with this you continue to rock! Love the harmonies in the chorus and that solo set's it straight brother!
Rock on!

[Greeny]

Perfect production, immaculate guitar tones, and some of the lushest harmonies I've ever heard. This is a killer. And that soloing is really, really dirty - in a very good way! Outstanding. And a 1000% better than the song of the same title I posted on here some time back, lol.

Brilliant.

[Speed Demon]

Rock and roll heaven!

Killer vocals and guitars!

Outstanding work!

[Farrell Jackson]

Outstanding. And a 1000% better than the song of the same title I posted on here some time back, lol.

Brilliant.

Thanks Kari, Rob, Richie, Gnasty, Krasi, Hook, Greeny and Speed Demon for listening and for the good comments!

Greeny - I've listened to and reviewed your song of the same title. Ours isn't better at all...just a different style of rock but thanks for making me feel good!
