I got some advice for everybody

Don't take advice from anybody

No matter what

I got this theory that folks who come from nothing

Ain't afraid to let it all hang out

While kings in castles don't like to be hassled

With the mundane, street brain, all heart but no clout

We dance a little, maybe take a chance a little

Like it or not, we're all the same

And life is a drunken teacher who never had a PhD

She makes you learn, she makes you cry

And there is just one guarantee

But no matter what, you're bound to learn

I got this friend, he'll love you till the end

But he's driving down a dead-end street

He says it ain't about the money

But let me tell you, honey

He's a whole other level of cheap

He'll throw a ten in the tipping jar

Ask for nine-fifty back, he drives a Ferrari

Life is a wicked game, you win right up until you lose

All that fame, it ends the same

then you're buried in your blue suede shoes

And no matter what, you're in the news

And no matter what, we run out of time

Keeps ticking away

The sun sets with or without a thing I say

Side note, a Dear John letter, that's all she wrote

A priceless dream in a lead boat

All I own that means a thing is to hear you sing

And my reflection in your eyes

So dance a little, maybe take a chance a little

All we got is this, and this is real good

Life is a mean old sailor

that don't care what you have in mind

His heart is cold, and all that gold

you gotta leave it all behind

And no matter what, it's one and done

No matter what, we sure had fun
