Ain't Life Grand

Runnin’ from the law since I wrecked the Corvette
They’ll hang me like a diamond right around your neck
Let’s play a game called Future Regrets
Houndin’ for ya baby, ain’t found ya yet
Life’ll disappoint, ya know it’s true
Streets are paved in gold for the lucky few
Ramblin’ down the shadows of the avenue
Searchin’ for the path take me back to you
CHORUS
Ain’t life grand
Take my hand
You can ride along with the band
Baby we ain’t got no plans
Buildin’ up a wall on the south of town
Keep the poor folk out, the riffraff down
People go over under around
Gaze in wild wonder at what you found
Eyes seein’ things in a different light
There’s right ‘n’ wrong, black ‘n’ white
Ridin’ into a new sunrise
If you’re askin’ I’m shackin’ up by your side
CHORUS
If we’da met each other in another case
We’d prolly be familiar in more meaningful ways
The taste of your breath, your vintage face
Deliver me along through time and space
No one told us it would work this way
People got words, not a lot to say
If anyone is listenin’ why I’d kneel and pray
To meet ya on down along the road some day
CHORUS
You can ride along with the band
Baby we ain’t got no plans
Runnin’ from the law since I wrecked the Corvette
They can hang me like a diamond right around your neck
