Hayes Carll Any Other Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have climbed up on the mountain
And I've fallen in the pit
I've looked love in the eye
And seen the other side of it
I spent most of my time just laughing at
A joke nobody gets
And I wouldn't have it any other way

[Verse 2]
Aw, she said she'd stay forever
But she lied, lied, lied
Naw, she couldn't keep a straight face
If she tried, tried, tried
Told me that she loved me
Now she's someone еlse's bride
But I wouldn't have it any othеr way
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny
What gets you where you're going
Who's to say what's right and what is wrong?
There ain't nobody
Who knows how life's gonna happen
Only thing to do is live it 'til it's gone

[Verse 3]
Every time I see my buddies
We get way too stoned
Aw, we start trading stories
And it's on, it's on
And I swear I left a piece of me Down every road I've gone
But I wouldn't have it any other way

[Chorus]
Ain't it funny
What gets you where you're going
Who's to say what's right and what is wrong?
There ain't nobody
Who knows how life's gonna happen
Only thing to do is live it 'til it's gone

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
It's a big old beautiful universe
And I'm happy where I am
I've got supper in the oven
And a cold drink in my hand
I take naps when I want to
Go dancing when I can
And I wouldn't have it any other way

[Chorus]
Ain't it funny
What gets you where you're going
Who's to say what's right and what is wrong?
There ain't nobody
Who knows how life's gonna happen
Only thing to do is live it 'til it's gone
Only thing to do is live it 'til it's gone

[Outro]
And I wouldn't have it any other way
