lyrics

Life Story
(Winters,Sherman)

So a guy walks into a bar somewhere downtown
Starts working on a beer
Ignoring the band
Gets himself all buried in pen and paper
And then he says he's gonna write it all out by hand
 
Well it's a slow night and the women are few
I ain't got much else to do...
 
I'M GONNA WRITE OUT MY LIFE STORY
BREAK IT DOWN INTO A THREE ACT PLAY
GONNA START IN THE MIDDLE
AND WRITE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
GONNA PUT IT ALL DOWN
AND SEND IN MY SCREENPLAY
 
He's says hey man I got a hell of a tale to tell you
And I swear it's all true but hey well who's to say
If it's written in the stars or mixed up in the entrails
They might have to come and take me away
 
Well it's a slow night and the women are few
I ain't got much else to do...
 
I'M GONNA WRITE OUT MY LIFE STORY
BREAK IT DOWN INTO A THREE ACT PLAY
GONNA START IN THE MIDDLE
AND WRITE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
GONNA PUT IT ALL DOWN
AND SEND IN MY SCREENPLAY
 
You know some people
They're not going to like it
But it ain't my job to make their day
My friends they will all moan and chatter
Well hey what the hell they hate me anyway 
 
I start reading over his shoulder
Is he a genius or a fool
I know I've never seen anything like it
And I know they're never gonna read it in school
 
I'M GONNA WRITE OUT MY LIFE STORY
BREAK IT DOWN INTO A THREE ACT PLAY
GONNA START IN THE MIDDLE
AND WRITE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
GONNA PUT IT ALL DOWN
AND SEND IN MY SCREENPLAY
