Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife Said I hate to bother you Johnny Ray fell off the wagon He’s been gone all afternoon I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s And found him at the bar I say hey man, what’s going on He said I don’t know where to start
Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart And the washer quit last week We had to put momma in the nursing home And the baby’s cutting teeth I didn’t get much work this week And I got bills to pay I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear But it’s what I’m gonna say
(Chorus) 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 you’re caught up in some tragedy It sounds like life to me
Well his face turned red 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 To top it off I just found out That Sarah’s 2 months late I said hey bartender set us up a round We need to celebrate
(Chorus) Sounds like life to me plain old 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 you’re caught up in some tragedy Sounds like life to me Sounds like life
