Darryl Worley - Awful, Beautiful Life lyrics

I woke up early with a pounding in my head

I'd been out the night before with all my friends

A little worried, kinda wondering what I did

I said, "Lord, please forgive me for my sins"

My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first

"You're going if I have to drag your butt to church"

I love this crazy tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful beautful life

I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along

And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake

We met the family for dinner at our home

Drank some beer, watched a game and cooked some steaks

My little brother had a big fight with his wife

And my poor mother sat between them both all night

I love this crazy tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful beautful life

We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq

We're all aware that he may never make it back

We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes

And how he loved to be a soldier more than most

I laid in bed that night and thought about the day

And how my life is like a roller coaster ride

The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way

It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight

You can't really smile until you've shed some tears

I could die today or I might live on for years

I love this crazy tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful, beautful life

I love this crazy tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful, beautful life

Alright

It's a beautiful life

Awful beautiful life

I love this life

It's a beautiful life

I love this life

It's a beautiful life
