Lyrics

[Intro]
(Oh)
(What a life)
(Oh)
[Verse 1]
Them railroads and potholes had the CD skipping
Them red signs, they said stop, but we never listened
Yeah, school and work, church and girls in a little town was our whole world
And where we gon' circle up was the only worry in it
[PreChorus]
They say everybody dies, but not everybody lives, mm
But, damn, we sure did
[Chorus]
Oh
What a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh
What a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life
[PostChorus]
(What a life)
(What a life)
[Verse 2]
Your white dress, my rented tux, at the First Baptist
Coming home to a Goodwill couch and your college mattress
Yeah, cheers and cheap champagne, making love to Marvin Gaye
We didn't have anything except how good we had it
[Chorus]
Oh
What a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh
What a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life
[PostChorus]
(Oh)
(What a life)
(Oh)
[Bridge]
When I'm on my way home and I see that light
And it all flashes right before my eyes, I'll say
What a life, mhm
What a life
[Chorus]
Oh
What a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh
What a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life
[Outro]
Yeah, what a life
Mm, what a life
What a life
Oh, what a life, what a life, yeah
What a life
