Awful Beautiful Life Lyrics

Awful Beautiful Life lyrics

I woke up early with a poundin' in my head

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

A little worried, kinda wonderin' 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 goin' if I have to drag your butt to church



I love this crazy, tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful beautiful 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 the 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 beautiful life



(C'mon) 



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 solider more than most



I layed in bed that night and thought about the day 

And how my life is like a rollar coaster ride

The ups and downs and crazy turns a long the way

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



You can't really smile until you shed some tears

I could die today, or I might live on for years



I love this crazy, tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful beautiful life



I love this crazy, tragic

Sometimes almost magic

Awful beautiful life



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)
