MY LIFE'S GREAT

Remember when you used go out,
With the captain of the football team.
You wore a sweater that had his varsity letter,
I guess some dreams just ain't the way they seem.
After y'all went off to college as sweethearts,
And you both came home and got yourselves hitched.
Every time you and me run into each other,
You're yellin' at your kids, and all you do is bitch.
Chorus
My life's great, sorry about yours.
What in the hell's happened to you?
Now I'm damn near broke, but you look like you've done well,
Why am I so happy and you're so blue?
Girlfriend, if you need a shoulder,
I guess I can't deny you that,
We've got something in common, we're both older,
Time's been kind to me, but you tell me you feel fat.
Chorus
My life's great, sorry about yours.
What in the hell's happened to you?
Now I'm damn near broke, but you look like you've done well,
Why am I so happy and you're so blue?

I used to wear coke bottle glasses,
You were popular, I was not,
You ended up with what you wished for,
I'm so happy, what you got.
In this case, if you let me be your shrink.
Maybe I can help you figure things out,
If you care to tell me what you really think,
About how your world stinks, and you can't bail out.
Chorus
My life's great, sorry about yours.
What in the hell's happened to you?
Now I'm damn near broke, but you look like you've done well,
Why am I so happy and you're so blue.
I almost forgot about you.
Tell me again, what is it you do?
Why am I so happy and you're so blue?
