Not So Bad

Driving along driving along off the pavement GPS satellite don't know what this place is Man in the sand orange vest and a slow sign Hundred ten degrees no complaint like it's just fine He's been cooking French five years and nobody knows What's beneath all the dust in brown and orange county clothes Get the credit up maybe try to get a business loan Daughter new bike and a restaurant for him to owe Screaming along screaming along on the pavement Past detour signs and orange vest places Ambulance man fights for control of the patient Patient bites hard doesn't know what this place is Ambulance man used to play the violin every night Before the patient broke his hand sharp teeth crazy bite One day far away he might learn to play again Or buy another lotto card maybe it's time to win You know you know you know My life ain't so bad You know you know you know It's the best life I ever had Screaming along screaming along at the rodeo Bull in the chute dust flies it's time to go Rider holds on white hands but another plan In the air somewhere sharp horns shaking head Clown jumps up throwing dust and flashing hands Bull rears back as airborne rider lands Under hoof and horn where regret is so often sworn Ambulance man stuck in traffic patched hand detour man You know you know you know My life ain't so bad You know you know you know It's the best life I ever had Best life I ever had Best life I ever had
