Gary Allan - Life Ain't Always Beautiful Lyrics

Gary Allan Lyrics

"Life Ain't Always Beautiful"

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin it's sweet time

[Chorus:]
No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life ain't always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don't work that way

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin it's sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

This is the second and final single from the album. The song peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Songwriter Tommy Lee James thinks that this song is one of his favourites. He explained, "It's kind of a self-help song. It's one of those songs that's kind of about life, and a pick-me-up song. And it has a little bit of that Dr. Seuss simplicity."

The music video for this track was shot in Las Vegas.
