Life

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]
