Lyrics
LIFE GETS IN THE WAY
©2009 RON CHASSNER/OSCAR HERNANDEZ
IT'S GETTIN' NEAR QUITTIN' TIME
BOYS ARE GOIN' OUT FOR A BREW
I CAN'T PAY 'EM NO MIND
GOT A WHOLE N'OTHER SHIFT TO DO
CHORUS:
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST--PLANS YOU MAKE DON'T LAST
WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN ANY DAY
YOU CAN KEEP RUNNIN'--IT JUST KEEPS COMIN'
LIFE GETS IN THE WAY
THAT GUITAR HANGIN' IN THE DEN
HAD TO SELL IT AMP AND ALL
COULD BE TOURIN' WITH THE BAND
(BUT) ANOTHER BABY CAME ALONG LAST FALL
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
COMIN' HOME LATE AT NIGHT--I SEE THAT BABY SLEEPIN' TIGHT
NO REGRETS WHEN I LOOK AT HER FACE
AND I THANK THE LORD, THANK THE LORD
THAT LIFE--GETS IN THE WAY---GETS IN THE WAY
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS: (WITH BREAKDOWN)
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST--PLANS YOU MAKE DON'T LAST
WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN ANY DAY
YOU CAN KEEP RUNNIN'--IT JUST KEEPS COMIN'
LIFE GETS IN THE WAY
