Got a call last night from an old friends wife
Said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
Hes been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skullys
And found him at the bar
I say hey man, whats going on
He said I dont know where to start
Sarahs old cars about to fall apart
And the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home
And the babys cutting teeth
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
(Chorus)
Sounds like life to me it aint no fantasy
Its 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
To top it off I just found out
That Sarahs 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 youre caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life
