If I happened to have a nickel for every song that didn't come true
If I blamed all of my problems on the rich like you all do
If I grew up without a penny or a shirt on my back
I'd say this is what life is and this is where I'm at
This is life, so let it be
This is life, for you and me
If I grew up to be wealthy with a silver spoon in my mouth
And I had all of the riches you could dig up from the South
If I grew up to be pampered i would sit around and get fat
I'd say this is what life is and this is where I'm at
This is life, so let it be
This is life, for you and me
