Life's not always fair Oh, life it's misunderstood me And dream of better days Life's not always fair or so they say So I close my eyes Or so they say Little old man contemplates Suicide twice a day

Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life Dreams of freedom turned to dust how many wasted lives How many dreams did fade away Broken promises They won't be coming home Oh mothers wipe your tears

We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown A life of their own left us alone John and Linda live in Omaha And Joe is somewhere on the road We lost Davy in the Korean war And I still

This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh) These hands had to let it go free This love is good This love is bad This love is a life back from the dead, oh And this love came back to me, oh And I could go on and on, on and on Clear blue water High

I hope you don't mind That I put down in words And you can tell everybody this is your song How wonderful life is while you're in the world It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide, I Don't have much money but

I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah Everything they said about everything Was a coming undone it's a life supreme Feasting on the flowers so fast and young It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue The next dimension, show me in Like she

'Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time Ba-ba-ba-da-ba Oh, it's just me, myself and I Solo ride until I die 'Cause I got me for life Oh I don't need a hand to hold Even when the night is cold I got that fire in my soul Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Oh, sleepin' in the (ghetto) ‘Cause that's the life when you're livin' in the (ghetto) And eatin' in the (ghetto) Ghetto, that's the life (ghetto livin') When you're livin' in the (ghetto) Oh, sleepin' in the (ghetto) ghetto (ghetto livin') Oh, eatin' in

And all of the nights and all of the days Yeah we’re watching them fading away And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice When I’m gambling all of the time And oh oh oh oh oh I’m leaving now Sweet escape I just need you now Cold light wakes me in

Move on up in glory Move up, oh Lord Move, move move, move, move Well, all my life I want to know Is why my Jesus loved me so I'm going to see my loving mother I'm going to see my father too After a while Well, I believe in my soul
