Edwin McCain - Beautiful Life

Album:

Another beautiful morning under stars and bars â?¢ And F series pickups and rusted out cars â?¢ And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar â?¢ Just to have a peekâ?? â?¢ And the beer soaked angels spread their wings â?¢ And dream of twenties and diamonds and things â?¢ And somehow that might ease the sting â?¢ Of the company they keep â?¢ Yeahâ?? â?¢ And the vets still talk about the tet offensive â?¢ And the freshmen boys all look so pensive â?¢ Because living large is so expensive â?¢ Hope daddy fueled the jetâ?? â?¢ And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino â?¢ And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos â?¢ And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino â?¢ Is that the only car he could get? â?¢ It's a beautiful life â?¢ It's just as advertised â?¢ It's all for one low price â?¢ Just read the fine print, and you'll be content â?¢ With your beautiful life â?¢ And record smoothies say "What a sound" â?¢ You're the greatest thing we've found â?¢ But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds â?¢ We're gonna put you on TV â?¢
And don't think our place is so swank â?¢ Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank â?¢ That's exactly why his last record tanked â?¢ And let that be a lesson to me â?¢ Chorus â?¢ And all our churches glow â?¢ Communion wafers trash TV shows â?¢ Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife" â?¢ 'Cause you'll be warm and safe â?¢ In your beautiful life â?¢ Yeahâ??â?¢ And it's hard to tell what's true compassion â?¢ When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion â?¢ And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe â?¢ And I hope I never see the day â?¢ When there's nothing left on the planet left to save â?¢ And oxygen is the designer crusade â?¢ As we all fight to breatheâ??â?¢ Chorus
