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 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

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 (sounds like life to me)

Sounds like life (sounds like life to me)

Sounds like life to me

Sounds like life to me

Sounds like life to me
