Rodney Crowell - It Don't Get Better Than This

When you're the last one to know

What everybody knows

Shame falls down

When you're the last one to see

What everybody sees

Shame falls down like rain falls down

Life is messy

It's starting to repress me

Time and time again

I think I'm gonna win

And it blows up in my face

When your last hope is gone

And you're feelin' so unable

Shame falls down

When your heart won't open up

And there's love left on the table

Fame falls down

Like rain falls down

Life is messy

It's starting to distress me

They sell it in the press

They smell it on your breath

But you keep on comin' clean

Life is messy

I don't wanna go back home

The streets are lined in rubble

A heart that's made of stone

Can lead you into trouble

Life is messy

It's trying to depress me

They can kick you in the nuts

They can hit you where it hurts

Don't get down on your knees

Life is messy

I feel like Elvis Presley

At a very early age

They put you in a cage

And they push you out on stage

Life is messy
