Awful Beautiful Life Lyrics - Darryl Worley - Darryl Worley

I woke up early with a poundin' in my head 

I'd been out the night before with all my friends 

A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did 

I said, Lord, please forgive me for my sins 

My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first 

"You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church" 

I love this crazy, tragic 

Sometimes almost magic 

Awful, beautiful life 

I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along 

Made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake 

We met the family for dinner at our home 

Drank some beer, watched a game and cooked some steaks 

My little brother had a big fight with his wife 

And my poor mother sat between 'em both all night 

I love this crazy, tragic 

Sometimes almost magic 

Awful, beautiful life 

Come on 

We said a prayer for cousin Michael in Iraq 

We're all aware that he may never make it back 

We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes 

And how he loved to be a soldier more than most 

I laid in bed that night and thought about the day 

And how my life is like a roller coaster ride 

The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way 

It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight 

You can't really smile until you've shed some tears 

I could die today or I might live on for years 

I love this crazy, tragic 

Sometimes almost magic 

Awful, beautiful life 

I love this crazy, tragic 

Sometimes almost magic 

Awful, beautiful life 

Alright 

It's a beautiful life 

Awful, beautiful, life 

I love this life, it's a beautiful life 

I love this life, it's a beautiful life
