Lyrics
a long time ago,
I was young and always looking for fun. I found a love down the road from me,
we had to sneak around cause she
was younger ya c.
then one...day,
she said Ron,
we are hav'n a baby,
I said dag gone,
jumped in the love of my life
and headed to my shop to hide
but then I heard my door bell ding
I looked from under a hood to see,
it was mayor standing there
saying he is here to arrest me.
shucks.... dag gone it.
oh how life can be funny
I use to think it was a bad trick
from the big guy up above me
just when ya trying to make a little money,and have a little fun ya,
ya turn around and there's the ground
cause somehow
a wrench gets thrown in
that ya never saw come 'n.
sitting in jail wasn't much fun for me,
couldn't make bail so the mayor said boy, you're getting married this evening. I thought to myself I could just stay in jail, but there was no guarantee I'd ever get out, so I agreed to go to my hell.
I mean getting married that is.
oh how life can be funny
I use to think it was a bad trick
from the big guy up above me
just when ya trying to make a little money,and have a little fun ya,
ya turn around and there's the ground
cause somehow
a wrench gets thrown in
that ya never saw come 'n.
hell was ok, it was nothing to brag about...
I worked at my shop all day
and the wife had our kids that we raised,
them things seem to pop out
more than white wall tires
at this route
doesn't look like I will ever retire.
naw, I'm just play'n, the wife and kids were ok, just say'n...
oh how life can be funny
I use to think it was a bad trick
from the big guy up above me
just when ya trying to make a little money,and have a little fun ya,
ya turn around and there's the ground
cause somehow
a wrench gets thrown in
that ya never saw come 'n.
Darn near 50, and the old lady says Ron,
we're gonna have a baby... I looked up at the sky and asked God why, scratched my head, looked at her and said,
are you sure that's wise?
no getting out of this one,
no reason to try, this will make number 5, so I said to the woman, sure thing. what the heck, let's give it a whirl,
hoping for a boy but shucks got another baby girl.
oh how life can be funny
I use to think it was a bad trick
from the big guy up above me
just when ya trying to make a little money,and have a little fun ya,
ya turn around and there's the ground
cause somehow
a wrench gets thrown in
that ya never saw come 'n.
Life is sure full of funnies...
ya know, I took up a collection of them wrenches,
I got darn near 5 sets,
get it?!
ha....ha....ha... just kid'n...
oh how life can be funny
I use to think it was a bad trick
from the big guy up above me
just when ya trying to make a little money,and have a little fun ya,
ya turn around and there's the ground
cause somehow
a wrench gets thrown in
that ya never saw come 'n.
