This Beautiful Life lyrics

Verse One
Like a wild train rollin' so wild
and full of steam once you get us going,
it's like nothing you have seen
with some fire in your belly,
you move a little faster
and the devil in your makes you hit a little harder

Verse Two
So where do you draw the line
and tell yourself no more is it
when your back's against the wall
or you're crawlin' on the floor

Verse ONe
Now I'm the king of the swingers,
boy Jungle V.I.P.
I've reached the top, and had to stop,
And that's what's bothering me I wanna be a man,
a man cub stroll right into town
and be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeying around

chorus
So woowooooh,
I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you,
talk like you do
You see it's true,

Verse One
I'm just a small town guy with a handful of dreams
My future seems bright or that's how it seems
When it comes to love
I'm in need of advice

Verse Two
I've got it all figured out
I've got the world on a string
But baby there's really only one thing
When it comes to love
I'm in need of advice

Choruse
But when I look to the sky
I nearly die thinking about how it should be

Verse One
When the town fool is a liar
and he's preaching to the choir
You've got a lot of explaining that you do
You see, no one likes a quitter it makes us oh, so bitter
So drop your hat and sit for awhile

Bridge
Ya see, every now and again we struggle with our past
We try to stare it in the eye and pray that
it won't last Most questions that get answered,
they never make much sense

Verse One
On the 8th of November,
I remember telling her that we'd be together forever
But things have changed,
now re rearranged we are now no longer together
It was the way she spoke,my heart broke
I thought that I would never love again
But then you came along,
so I changed my song With you,
my life would never be the same

Chorus
And things have changed,

Verse One
I've been up, I've been down,
I've been kicked to the ground
And that's nothing new for me
Like the dead of the night when everything's all right
It's where I wanna be You see the life I live is the life
I choose I follow no one's laws
I follow no one's rules
But when it's heads
I win and tales you loose
It's not the game in which I choose

Verse Two

I like to sneak a drink,
and roll my smoke
You see I like my collars pressed
I wear big ol' hats,
and fancy ties
and I hang late with my friends

I can take it on the chin with a cheshire grin
I'm a sinner, VIP
You know I like mixed drinks,
I likes what I thinks
I think you know just what I mean

You know that heroes and legends are one and the same
Its-a how you play the game

So, when it rains,
I'll shield your head
And when you cry,
I'll wipe those tears
Because it's you, through all these years
And I'm still in love with you

Drop to my knees at Christmas time
And ask you please, if you'd be mine
Because it's you, through all these years
And I'm still in love with you

We walked the streets of the Crescent City
We held hands in China Town

He's got a sharkskin suit
and a diamond earring he's got jet black hair,
just like his mother
he's got a jail tattoo, from his long-lost brother
he's got a shotgun fuse,
don't you pull his trigger

Broke from jail without a gun,
public enemy number one Killed a man on the run, on the lam,
without bail headed straight back to jail.
nowhere else for him to go daddy-o, daddy-o

Goodnight, baby, don't let the bedbugs bite
Sleep tight, Sydney,
cause I'll be home tonight la da da da da, la da da da da

Close your eyes now, and dream of happiness
Nothing can harm you,
now that I'm home again la da da da da, la da da da da

If you should wake tonight,
I'll be there by your side
Angels watch over you,
like parents want to do la da da da da, la da da da da

Verse One
On the 8th of November,
I remember telling her that we'd be together forever
But things have changed,
now re rearranged we are now no longer together

I thought that I would never love again
But then you came along,
so I changed my song With you,
my life would never be the same

Chorus
And things have changed,

Verse One
Who's that creepin' through my window?
Who's that creepin' through my door?
You see I know lots and lots of folks around these parts
but I ain't never seen you before

Verse Two
I hear you creepin' through my kitchen
I hear you creepin' through my den
I'm startin' to get the shakes now
Jack you see I don't know where you've been

I'm sweatin' and shakin' goin' out of my head

Verse One
I'm just a small town guy with a handful of dreams
My future seems bright or that's how it seems
When it comes to love
I'm in need of advice

Verse Two
I've got it all figured out

But baby there's really only one thing
When it comes to love

Ol' MacDonald had a farm ee-eye-ee-eye-oh
And on this farm there was a chick purtiest chick
I know with a little curve here
and a little curve there this chick,
she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm ee-eye-ee-eye-oh

And oh, this chick, she had a walk ee-eye-ee-eye-oh
and how this walk would drive em wild swingin' to
and fro with a little wiggle here
