Life Was A Play — текст песни (Toby Keith)

Lookin` back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part

I`d skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys

Chorus:
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I`d fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin` back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage

I lost my driver`s license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you`ll get burned

I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin` rules was bein` cool
It`s clear to me now I was a fool

Repeat Chorus

Yeah everything turned out ok
Life was a play and the world a stage
