You've got a lotta detail in your life of late you find
|
Hey now that you got kids well things loom larger in your mind
|
You make your best decisions in the time that you're allowed
|
and still get caught at Christmas in that final countdown crowd
|
|
It's always problems everywhere
|
You're jugglin' every one
|
You do your best each day but
|
when the sun goes down it's done, it's done
|
and then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
|
Don't let it keep you up nights,
|
when you know my friend
|
You cannot win 'em all
|
|
Exterminator, Lawyer, Doctor, Daycare, Dental bill
|
Hey, now that you're essential, have you made yourself a will?
|
You gotta have insurance just to drive your car to work
|
and wind up down in court with some bad actor, neckbrace jerk
|
|
It's always problems everywhere
|
You're jugglin' every one
|
You do your best each day but
|
when the sun goes down it's done, it's done
|
and then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
|
Don't let it keep you up nights,
|
when you know my friend
|
You cannot win 'em all, oh no
|
|
Can't no one stop that airport, that they're building over there?
|
Those planes won't hardly clear your trees, and noise will fill the air
|
So set your sights on silent nights and greener pastures still
|
So much for your retirement dreams on "Oakview Plesent Hill"
|
|
It's always problems everywhere
|
You're jugglin' every one
|
You do your best each day but
|
when the sun goes down it's done, it's done
|
and then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
|
Don't let it keep you up nights,
|
when you know my friend
|
You cannot win 'em all, oh no, oh no.
