lyrics

I know your song
starts out in a b flat
the house where you live is in the side of a hill
and we all like that
I notice your boat hasn't left the dock in over 8 days
you've got us worried that you might be drinking too much

and I don't know why, you are so sad
because the fishin’ it ain't all that bad
I guess I know why, why you are broke
because you think that life is a joke

when you returned from the war no one saw you
for over a month
suppose you saw some things over there that we
just would not believe
but then your time away seemed to help you
get your head straight
now you're missin’ again and I fear it may be too late

Life as a joke
Life as a joke
Life as a joke
Life is a joke
