Lyrics

She walked up and said “Cowboy, where’s the funeral?”
Wry smile on her face thrift store beautiful
She said “My name is life, can i have a couple dances?”
Wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt and i thought what are the chances
My head said no but i said sure
Felt like i had concrete in my feet as we walked out on the floor
She said the way ya drag them boots, you must have a heavy heart
you act like a stolen chevy that’s been stripped for parts
So You got your heart broke, didn’t you know
What takes you high leaves you low
You get the broken hearted lovers with no second chance
Chinatown summers and the streetlight dance
The blessing and the curse the triumph the tragedy
The limousine and the hearse and the 3 days in between
We polished off our beers and she said let’s get going
It’s an hour to the ocean
Let’s talk while the wheels are rolling
With a name like life I said your parents must have been hippies
She just winked said Father God and Mother Earth sure were trippy
And as we ran out of sand
And The beach turned rocky
She just squeezed my hand
And said don’t give up on me
You get to swim on sinking ships and chase the mountaintops
You get the bones in the valley below wAshing up on the rocks
The shade trees and the storms and the bitter rains
The Virgin Mary mornings and the walks of shame
You get the ride of your life and the crash into the wall
You get everything and you get nothing at all
she kissed me on the cheek to the sound of the morning
said tell me country boy are you disappointed
truth is most folks go to bed in their head with the dream of me
then wake up with no room for the reality
cause life takes work and you’ll get hurt
but I’m worth it baby I’m worth it baby
I’m worth the
The joy of misbehaving,
the burn of the brimstone
The grace of the saints
Glass houses throwing stones
The shade trees and the storms
The window and the wall
You’re gonna get everything baby
or you get nothing at all?
You get the crown and the thorns
You get to die and be reborn
You get the faith and the fear
The rise and the fall
You get everything or you get nothing at all
