Them railroads and potholes had the CD skipping
Them red signs, they said stop, but we never listened
Yeah, school and work, church and girls
That little town was our whole world
And where we gon' circle up was the only worry in it

They say everybody dies, but not everybody lives, mm
But, damn, we sure did

Oh, what a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh, what a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life

Your white dress, my rented tux, at the First Baptist
Coming home to a Goodwill couch and a college mattress
That cheers and cheap champagne, making love to Marvin Gaye
We didn't have anything except how good we had it

Oh, what a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh, what a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life

When I'm on my way home and I see that light
And it all flashes right before my eyes, I'll say
What a life, mhm
What a life

Oh, what a scene, what a song, what a sky
Oh, what a road, what a ride, what a dream
Yeah, what a life

Yeah, what a life
Mm, what a life
What a life
Oh, what a life, what a life, yeah
What a life
