Other People’s Lives

[Intro]
This is how it seems to be

[Chorus]
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem much more interesting

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm fed up and I need to go
Out of existence or just down the road forever
Well, later that night on the side of the road
I'm out of gas and I should have known better
Well, a guy shows up, he's 25 years old
Always thought this kid was such a mama's boy!
He said, and that's what he said
He's been in the army and he did some speed
He went down to Thailand, and he did the deed
Oh yeah, he did it for the boys
A cop shows up, way damn late
I was excited, but usually I hate to see them

[Chorus]
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine
And other people's lives seem more
Interesting, 'cause they ain't mine

[Verse 2]
Later that night on the side of the road
I'm out of gas and I should have known better, yeah
I'm fed up and I need to go
Out of existence or just down the road forever, oh yeah!
Well, a guy shows up, he's 25 years old
Always steals his kisses, such a mama's boy
He said, and that's what he said
Palm tree houses way down the lane
I was excited but usually I hate to see them, yeah

[Bridge]
On the road, out of road
Going down, out of gas
Out of road, out of car
Out of everything at last
Out, out, rent a car
Got yourself a crazy walk
Said a bowlegged or maybe you're just peg-legged
Or something like that

[Verse 3]
Well, later at night on the side of the road
I'm out of gas and I should have known better, oh yeah
Cop showed up, way damn late
I was excited but usually I hate to see them, yeah

[Verse 4]
Big car, and I should’ve promised myself
I can not go when there’s nothing better
And it’s better all alone on the side of the road
I could’ve sworn she left when I was drunk
My God, now her face is gone
It goes on and on and on and on
Out of gas and nothing left
Got caught but I’m still on the gas
I said, I said, I said now I’m gonna break my pace
