It Don't Get Better Than This (Album Version)-Rodney Crowell

It Don't Get Better Than This - Rodney Crowell When you're the last one to know What everybody knows Shame falls down When you're the last one to see What everybody sees Shame falls down like rain falls down Life is messy It's starting to repress me Time and time again I think I'm gonna win And it blows up in my face When your last hope is gone And you're feelin' so unable Shame falls down When your heart won't open up And there's love left on the table Fame falls down Like rain falls down Life is messy It's starting to distress me They sell it in the press They smell it on your breath But you keep on comin' clean Life is messy I don't wanna go back home The streets are lined in rubble A heart that's made of stone Can lead you into trouble Life is messy It's trying to depress me They can kick you in the nuts They can hit you where it hurts Don't get down on your knees Life is messy I feel like Elvis Presley At a very early age They put you in a cage And they push you out on stage Life is messy
