Ph D In Misery

I was born a simple man Yet I've tried my best Home work is not easy I've failed all my tests I never went to college But I earned my degree I studied real hard But she still schooled me Though the School of hard knocks Charges no fee I got a masters in heartache And a Ph.D in misery When I started her classes I was absent a bit I got my bachelors in lonely/lonesome Then I had to quit I couldn't afford The price I had to pay I loaned her my money But she didn't stay Though I've earned all my credits I doubt I'll graduate When she walked out it hurt me She decided my fate I've failed every class Yet I've somehow moved on I've taken top honors Though she is still gone I'm at the top of my class Where no one wants to be I've earned my masters in heartache And my Ph.D in misery
