Lyrics
Sometimes in life it's hard to decide
Try to keep it simple but the dude can't abide
Should you do this, or maybe that
Keep it all on the line or just stand pat
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's scary
Your mileage may vary
You think that woman's so long and lean
I tell you brother she's downright mean
She'll pull you in with that schoolgirl pout
Then she'll teach you what heartache is all about
Leave you out in the cold with all the blues you can carry
Your mileage may vary
You scored a lot of cash from your rich uncle's will
Should you get a Chevy or a Coup DeVille
Buy enough gold to fill Fort Knox
Or bet the whole farm on some shady stocks
Party 'till you have a coronary
Your mileage may vary
The roll of the dice, the luck of the draw
You might get snake eyes or the shortest straw
Left out on a limb or in the right spot
Take a turn for the worse or hit the jackpot
It's all so random and arbitrary
Your mileage may vary
Better to be crazy than ordinary
Your mileage may vary
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's scary
Your mileage may vary
