Well, my ex ol' lady ran off with my best friend

And my girlfriend says that she understands just why

?Cause all I do is gripe about her Momma

And I've drunk every bar in this old town plum dry

Now, I quit school the day that I turned sixteen

Got a full time job working at the DMV

I started making payments on a trailer

And devoted all my time to being free.



(1st Chorus)

And my life's played out just like a country song

You can almost hear the fiddles as the guitars play 

along

Momma tried to raised me right, Lord I guess I was too 

far gone

My life's played out just like a country song.



It wasn't long ago when life was rosy

And every day the old sun would seem to shine


Every month they take a chunk out of my paycheck

For two little kids I ain't even sure is mine.



(2nd Chorus)

My life's played out just like a country song

Smokey bars and steel guitars, keep me dancing all 

night long

Momma tried to raise me right, Lord I guess I was too 

far gone

My life's played out just like a country song.



(Guitar Solo)



Last night I went out drinkin' in some bar room

Just how much I had it's hard to tell

They said I kicked a whole straight through the jukebox

Punched a cop and I spent the night in jail.



(Repeat 1st Chorus)



My life's played out just like a country song.
