Life...life...
Life is a series of impossible dreams, yeah
Full of disappointment and it ain't what it seems
Everybody's pulling you a different way
You want to close your eyes and make it all go away
But what you gonna do when the rent comes do
And the dollars in your wallet are numbered few
Or your neighbor comes knocking on your front door
He wants the mower that you borrowed
The night before your garage burned down
Your boss is screaming
'cause he walked in your office and
He found you on top of your desk asleep
But what you gonna do that's life!
Chorus
Life! too much to do and too much strife
Life! your girlfriend left ya and it cuts life a knife
Life! seventy years and a nagging wife
Life! you look in the mirror and it's barney fife
(what do you mean by that? [first time])
You wrecked your buddy's car and
You cracked your head!
It wouldn't have happened if you'd looked ahead and braked
But your mind was racing
'cause you was thinkin
'bout chasing that girl who turned you down
Everybody's talking 'bout it
All over town
But then things just get worse
You look in the mirror and you think it's a curse
Your hair is falling out on your pillow and all through the house
But what you gonna do that's life!
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Life is a dirty trick
If you listen to the devil's lies
But life is another man's treasure
If he's given it up to christ
Now wait a minute buddy
My story ain't done
God said it all when he gave the world his only son
To die on the cross
Just when you think that all is lost
There's hope for all mankind
Just give it to him
And you can't find life more abundantly
And that's the only reason for life!
Repeat chorus
