That's Just Life

from Listening for the Sound by Jordan Robert Kirk

lyrics

Well that sweet west Texas moon so pretty looks a whole lot better when you get out of the city, and I'd sure like to see your big ol' pretty smile. Couple soda pops for a $1.59, two for one special 'cause you're one of a kind, maybe we could get lost for a little while? Baby you and me are just a couple of peas, at the high time of the season cause you're so sweet. Honey, let's take a walk down by the creek.

Well that's just life my friend, young love between a couple of kids, succinctly worded so it ends up in a song. Well that's just life my friend, won't you listen to how the story ends. It just keeps a rollin' on, ba daba dam bomb bomb.

Well I don't know too much about your sister, other than the fact that my best friend kissed her, and said she puts out like pie on a windowsill. I don't judge a book by its cover, but you oughta be married 'fore you can be lovers, but I like pie and we got time to kill. Baby, look at me, I'm down here on one knee. I love you, so I bought a ring. Hand-in-hand, let's see what this life brings.

Well that's just life my friend, you know there's a peach underneath the skin, and oh the lengths a man will go to just to peel it off. Well that's just life my friend, won't you listen to how the story ends. It just keeps a rollin' on, ba daba dam bomb bomb.

Well we don't do it like them out in East Texas, checkin' all the cattle long after breakfast, wind picks up 'round here by that time of day. If we finish our work and the chores get done, a little before the settin' sun, maybe we can find ourselves a little shade? Make love and babies, and a family, hang some more fruit from our family tree, stake our claim between love and sanity?

Well that's just life my friend, growin' old with your best friend, Lord said be fruitful and multiply uh-huh. Well that's just life my friend, now you know how the story ends. It just keeps a rollin' on, ba daba dam bomb bomb. It just keeps a rollin' on, ba daba dam bomb bomb.
