[Verse] Well I planted seeds in the wrong damn field Where the sun don’t shine And the ground won’t yield Thought I’d harvest gold But I found a stone Now I sit here wondering Reaping what I’ve sown [Chorus] That’s life They say It’s a crooked old trail With a wagon full of dreams and a busted tail You can patch it up But it creaks just the same Every turn reminds you it’s a losing game [Verse 2] I chased shadows down a whiskey stream Danced with melodies from a broken dream Played my hand with a joker up my sleeve Thought I’d laugh in the end But it’s time to grieve [Chorus] That’s life They say It’s a barn on fire Built of hopes and beams Now it’s down to wire You can douse the flames with tears or regret But the ashes stick Though you try to forget [Bridge] There’s a clock in the woods with a face like sin It don’t tell time Just where you’ve been Every tick sounds like a bird taking flight And every tock whispers “It’s all alright.” [Verse 3] I gave love a fishhook Caught me instead Now the line leads straight to an empty bed Thought I’d reel in a mermaid made of gold But it was just the moon And she’s hard to hold
