Sounds Like Life To Me

Got a call last night from an old friends wife, said, I hate to bother you
But Johnny Ray fell off the wagon, hed been gone all afternoon
Well, I know my buddy, so I drove to Scullys and found him at the bar
Said, Hey Man, what’s goin on, He said, I don’t know where to start
Sarah’s old car startin 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 didnt get much work this week and I got bills to pay
I said, I know this ain’t what you wanna hear but its 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 gotta suck it up
To hear you talk youre caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me
Well, his face red turned 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
Top it off we just found out that Sarah’s two months late
I said, Hey, bartender, set us up a round, we needs celebrate
Sounds like life to me, ain’t no 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 gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me like life to
Sounds like life like life to
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life to me
