That's Life Lyrics

Swerving curving drivin' unstraight hit the brakes too late

Crossed yellow lines plowed clean through a stop sign

Flashing red, white lights shinin' sirens whinin'

Shit, the cops, had a few too many sodee pops

Mama always said use your head, take my advice

That's life, it's real, gotta deal

With the trouble and the strife

Surly burly lady in blue probly six foot and two

Gripped my collar in her fist lookin' right pissed

Said dear you're in a world of shit, sit tight here

Patted her taser twice went n' got me breathalyzed

Mama always said use your head, take my advice

That's life, it's real, gotta deal

With the trouble and the strife

Blew a two dot oh, tripped over my left big toe

Hauled my sorry ass in stinkin' of mother's ruin

Called my baby, skipped right in, shot me a grin

Tellin' you again ain't no good come outta gin

Judge opined, I'm of a mind to teach your kind

Sentence you to pick up trash, them empty flasks

And pay a fine and... and fix the damn stop sign

Said I am truly sorry ma'am, never happen again

Not long from then my other baby bought me a gin

Don't recall much, lots o' cops, stop signs n' such

Hailed both my babies from the jail to post up bail

Still waitin' in this here cell can I git an aw hell

Mama always said use your head, take my advice

That's life, it's real, gotta deal

With the trouble and the strife

Mama always said use your head, take my advice

That's life, it's real, gotta deal

With the trouble and the strife
