Johnny south bound wrote me a letter
Said, "Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories"
And ol' Jimmy picked up his guitar again
Waiting for the music to breathe
Nicole is back in school again, done workin' in the factories
Workin' in the factories
Jessie's in her house with her man
A child she foresees
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
Momma's sellin' homes again
She needs a dime, that woman needs a dime
And poppa's out on the horse again
Because he loves to ride
And Dawn is back at home again
A proud mama, a proud mama
And Terry's back in town again
But he ain't ever around
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
Jenny's at the doc again
Her stomach's round, her stomach's so round
Bradley's at the club again, waiting for the winter storms
The boys are back in school again
They love to learn, they love to learn
And here I am at home again
Staring at the wall
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
So this is life
What's before us
What's behind us
What's inside us
But what's above us?
Or below us?
Or can show us the more?
