Sounds Like Life to Me

|
Got a call last night from an old friend's wife
|
Said "I hate to bother you
|
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
|
He's been gone all afternoon"
|
Well, I know my buddy so I drove to Skully's
|
And found him at the bar
|
I said "hey man, what's goin' on?"
|
He said "I don't know where to start"
|
|
"Sarah's old car's ?bout to fall apart
|
And the washer quit last week
|
We had to put Mama in the nursing home
|
And the baby's cuttin' teeth
|
I didn't get much work this week
|
And I got bills to pay"
|
I said "I know this ain't what you wanna hear
|
But it's what I'm gonna say"
|
|
Sounds like life to me, it ain't no fantasy
|
It's just a common case of everyday reality
|
Man, I know it's tough but you've gotta suck it up
|
To hear you talk, you're caught up in some tragedy
|
Sounds like life to me
|
|
Well, his face turned red and he shook his head
|
He said "you don't understand
|
Three kids and a wife depend on me
|
And I'm just one man
|
To top it off I just found out
|
That Sarah's two months late"
|
I said "hey bartender - set us up a round
|
We need to celebrate!"
|
|
Sounds like life to me, plain old destiny
|
Yeah, the only thing for certain is uncertainty
|
You gotta hold on tight, just enjoy the ride
|
Get used to all this unpredictability
|
Sounds like life
|
|
Man, I know it's tough but you've gotta suck it up
|
To hear you talk, you're caught up in some tragedy
|
Sounds like life to me
|
Sounds like life
