This life is a killer, but, oh, what a ride

Just to wake up each morning, just to open your eyes

You got a beautiful body and a beautiful mind

                  G                      Em 
I go down to the station to deliver salutations

All this coming and going, oh, it just gets old

I want to stay here with you in our beautiful home 
                G                      Em 
And count our blessings and count our friends

And pray to God it never comes to an end 

I'll say
