Life...life...
Life is a series of impossible dreams, yeah
Full of disappointment and it aint what it seems
Everybodys 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 thats 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 its Barney Fife
(What do you mean by that? First Time)
You wrecked your buddys car and
You cracked your head!
It wouldnt have happened if youd looked ahead and braked
But your mind was racing
Cause you was thinkin
Bout chasing that girl who turned you down
Everybodys talking bout it
All over town
But then things just get worse
You look in the mirror and you think its a curse
Your hair is falling out on your pillow and all through the house
But what you gonna do thats life!
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Life is a dirty trick
If you listen to the devils lies
But life is another mans treasure
If hes given it up to Christ
Now wait a minute buddy
My story aint 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
Theres hope for all mankind
Just give it to Him
And you cant find life more abundantly
And thats the only reason for life!
[REPEAT CHORUS]
