This Life lyrics

[Verse 1]
Broken down outside Bakersfield, man, it started to snow
Sleepin' sittin' up in the front seat, cold wind, it blows
Well now, people if you feel for your mortal souls
Get a job workin' at the grocery store

[Chorus]
This life, it ain't right for everybody
Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy
This life, it ain't right for everybody
But it sure's been good to me

[Verse 2]
Drivin' thirty-five miles an hour 'cross that Texas heat
Engine burnin' like the fires of Hell just to melt the shoes of my feet
Three mechanics in a hundred miles and nothin's wrong
Didn't get nothing' outta that trip but another song

[Chorus]
Well, this life, it ain't right for everybody
Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy
This life, it ain't right for everybody
But it sure's been good to me

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I been up in the apple trees
I been down in the ditches on my bended knees
"May I help you, sir? What do ya need?"
Been 'round a corner or two
Sold everything but my clothes and shoes
Did a thousand jobs that I never wanted to do
I ain't settlin' down here, I'm just passin' through

[Chorus]
This life, it ain't right for everybody
Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy
This life, it ain't right for everybody
But it sure's been good to me

[Outro]
Sure been good to
Sure been good to
Sure been good to me
