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, whats goin on, He said, I dont 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      Sounds Like Life To Me   I didnt get much work this week and I got bills to pay   I said, I know this aint what you wanna hear but its what Im gonna say   Sounds like life to me, it aint no fantasy   It just a common case of everyday reality   Man, I know its 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 turned red and he shook his head   He said, you dont understand, three kids and a wife depend on me   And Im just one man,    top it off we just found out that Sarahs two months late   I said, Hey, bartender, set us up a round, we gotta celebrate   Sounds like life to me, aint 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 its tough but you gotta suck it up   To hear you talk youre caught up in some tragedy   Sounds like life to me (sounds like life to me)   Sounds like life
