My friend Manny would always say
"I only learn anything at the speed of pain"
How looking back, he had no regrets
No doubt they're still some hard lessons
But what I think he meant
Not till all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
Let the hard rain fall, let the cold winds blow
Somewhere between where I'm standing and where I wanna go
My best thinking is all I've ever known
Now I'm left here looking back
On that long and winding road
Where after all is lost
There's still something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
All the angels, all the saints
Cannot help you now
You think you know yourself
You think you know your truth
Till it breaks you down
But not till all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
When all the will power in the universe
Still won't get you through
As good a time as any
To find your version of God
Just as long as it ain't you
After all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain?
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
The speed of pain
No, no
Speed of pain
The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in San Jose, California, in 1969. Their sound, initially defined as rock with blues and country influences, later embraced elements of soft rock and pop in the 1970s. The name of the group derives from a slang term for marijuana. The original lineup included Tom Johnston (guitar, vocals), John Hartman (drums) and other musicians who joined over the years. Among the most notable members are also Patrick Simmons (guitar, vocals), Michael McDonald (keyboards, vocals) and Keith Knudsen (drums). The Doobie Brothers achieved international success with albums like "Toulouse Street" (1972), "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1973) and "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976). Their most famous songs include "Listen to the Music", "Black Water", "China Grove", "Long Train Runnin'", and "What a Fool Believes". The band has won four Grammy Awards and has sold over 48 million records worldwide. After several lineup changes, the Doobie Brothers reunited in 2019 with a lineup that includes Johnston, Simmons and Hartman.
