I knew this long-haired girl used to live on Love Street
Her heart got broken into smithereens
She was driving and crying and accidentally backed in
To the guy the whole time she was meant to be with
Now they're happily married with three little beautiful kids
Don't this life just kill you?
Like rollercoaster ride thrill you
Never know what it's gonna do you
Don't this life just kill you?
I knew this lady that saved every penny she ever made
She died of playing it safe but they called it old age
And the kids and the lawyers they fought it out like a ballroom brawl
They burned through the cash in no time at all
I got an uncle that got some bad news
Doctor said he had a fight inside he was gonna lose
He got a fight inside he was gonna lose
He gave him four months to live
That was seven years ago
He swears it's the broccoli but nobody knows
Don't this life just kill you?
Like rollercoaster ride thrill you
Never know what it's gonna do you
Don't this life just kill you?
Never know what it's gonna do you
We all celebrate the one we get
We hold on tight and make sure we try to breathe it all in
Did you ever stop to wonder, to think about what it means
When you're born and you die and the space in between comes?
Don't this life just kill you Like rollercoaster ride thrill you
Never know what it's gonna do you Don't this life just kill you
Like rollercoaster ride thrill you Never know, never know what it's gonna do you
It's true, my friend, in the end Don't this life just kill you
