Music is nothing but wrong notes played at the right time.


Sometimes life is a car speedin down the highway
The steering wheel won't turn and the breaks are shot
So you sit back and wait for the crash to happen
Meanwhile all you can do is watch

Lay on back
Put your life on cruise control
Sometimes all life really is
Is just goin with the flow

Lay on back
When the sun is in your eyes
Sometimes you've just gotta quit
And be along for the ride

Sometimes life is a poker game in Vegas
And you don't know what cards you're gonna get
So you sit back and watch the dealer shuffle
Meanwhile you just place your bet

Lay on back
When you're out of control
Sometimes all life really is is just going with the flow

Lay on back
When you've got no aces left
Sometime life is a losing hand and all you can do is check

Sometimes life is a wrecking ball
And you don't know what to do
So you pick your own lemons
And just try to make it through

Lay on back
And cheer for the wrecking ball
Sometimes all that you can do is show life that you're strong

Lay on back
And close you're eyes
Sometimes life gets better it's just a matter of time

Nice lyrics! I've been trying to write a song, but the words aren't coming to me. This was good inspiration and it fit to the tune I've been playing.
