Lyrics

Life's So Good, Life's So Bad (female)

Verse 1
Finally got a raise on Tuesday.
A damn flat tire by noon.
Mama says she's proud of me.
Then I hang up on her too soon.
Sunrise in the rearview mirror,
Late notice on the front door.
I kiss you in the kitchen.
With a scowl on your face, you say, "what was that for?"

Chorus
Life's so good, life's so bad,
Smilin' and riding high,
Then steamin' mad.
One minute I toast the sky,
Then suddenly tastin' dust.
Life is good, life is bad,
Laughin' at the highs when they're just a bust.
Life's so good, life's so bad...

Verse 2
Got a fridge full of beer,
But the rent drains me dry.
Win big on the lotto,
Lose my place in line.
Kids drawin' on the walls,
Hearts drawn on my hand.
Now I'm dancing in your t-shirt. winkin' at one broke hell of a man...

Chorus
Life's so good, life's so bad,
Smilin' and riding high,
Then steamin' mad.
One minute I toast the sky,
Then suddenly tastin' dust.
Life is good, life is bad,
Laughin' at the highs when they're just a bust.
Life's so good, life's so bad...

Bridge
I swing between the laughter
And "damn, I've had enough!"
But your head upon my shoulder
Makes the bad days not so rough.

Outro
If this is what they call a circus,
Then I guess I love the ride;
'Cause every time deep doubt rolls in,
You're laughing by my side,
You're laughing by my side.

Final Chorus
Life's so good, life's so bad,
Smilin' and riding high,
Then steamin' mad.
One minute I toast the sky,
Then suddenly tastin' dust.
Life is good, life is bad,
Laughin' at the highs when they're just a bust.
Life's so good, life's so bad...

Tag
Life's so good, life's so bad...
Life's so good, life's so bad...
