I woke up early with a pounding in my head
I'd been out the night before with all my friends
A little worried, kinda wondering what I did
I said, Lord please forgive me for my sins
My wife wanted to kill me but she tried to save me first
You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church
I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic
Awful, beautiful life
I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along
Made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake
We met the family for dinner at our home
Drank some beer, watched the game and cooked some steak
My little brother had a big fight with his wife
And our poor mother sat between em both all night
I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic
Awful, beautiful life
We said a prayer for cousin Michael in Iraq
We're all aware that he may never make it back
We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes
And how he loved to be a soldier more than most
I lay in bed that night and thought about the day
And how my life is like a roller-coaster ride
The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight
You can't really smile until you shed some tears
I could die today or I might live on for years
I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic
Awful, beautiful life
I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic
Awful, beautiful life
