"Don't This Life Just Kill You" lyrics

I knew this long haired girl who used to live on Love Street
Her heart got broken into smithereens
She was drivin' and cryin' and accidentally backed in-
To guy the whole time she was meant to be with
Now they're happily married with three little beautiful kids

Don't this life just kill ya?
Like roller coaster ride thrill ya
Never know what it's gonna deal ya
Don't this life just kill ya?

I knew this lady who saved every penny she ever made
She died of playin' it safe, but they called it old age
Then the kids and the lawyers, they fought it out like a barroom brawl
They burnt through the cash in no time at all

I got an uncle that got some bad news
Doctors said he had a fight inside he was gonna lose
They gave him four months to live, that was seven years ago
He swears it's the broccoli, but nobody knows

Don't this life just kill ya?
Like roller coaster ride thrill ya
Never know what it's gonna deal ya
Don't this life just kill ya? Yeah

We all celebrate the one we get
You hold on tight and make sure we try to breathe it all in
Did you ever stop to wonder, think about what it means
When you're born and you die and the space in between?

'Cause don't this life just kill ya?
Like roller coaster ride thrill ya
Never know what it's gonna deal ya
Don't this life just kill ya?
Like roller coaster ride thrill ya
Never know, never know what it's gonna deal ya
It's true, my friend, in the end
Don't this life just kill ya?
