lyrics

Hey.... life

So you missed every traffic light
And you were already late
Curse your luck and curse the fates
Can’t do any thing but wait

And you’re stuck in your car
Along with everyone else
Just like everyone else you find your mind wishing you were someone besides yourself

Gotta play the cards that you’re dealt
Can’t be anyone else
I know that’s right
Hey.... Life

Whoever tried to paint this world
can’t paint a straight line
And the winds are changing
the picture all the time

I wash my hands the best I can
Try to begin anew
Wake up every morning go to sleep every night
Try to do the things I’m sposed to do

Gotta play the cards that you’re dealt
Can’t be anyone else
I know that’s right
Hey.... Life

I’d like to be a hammer
Try not to be a nail
I feel my soul wearing thin
I need some wind in my sail

I know I could just give up
Let the current sweep me away
Say I’ve have enough of the push
And I’ve got nothing more to say

Gotta play the cards that you’re dealt
Can’t be anyone else
I know that’s right
Hey.... Life
