SOMEBODY'S LIFE
(McCrea Adams)
Lyrics by Robert McClenaghan
Saw a tornado on the news
a fella was sittin' there singin' the blues
Lookin' at the pieces of his mobile home
even his dog had up and gone
I couldn't believe . . .
Somebody's life is worse than mine
Somebody's heart been broke more times
Misery loves company, I feel fine
Somebody's life is worse than mine
My daddy had a big day at the track
bought himself a brand new Cadillac
But he ended up in a big old mess
guess he forgot to tell the IRS
And I had to laugh . . .
I got my boss on my back every doggone day
a stack of my ex-wife's bills to pay
Sometimes I feel like I been cursed
but what the hell, I guess it could be worse
My buddy was out, he was paintin' the town
a couple of girlfriends hangin' around
When out of nowhere here come his wife
like Lorena Bobbit with a butcher knife
Ouch . . .
