Lyrics

THE WAY LIFE GOES

V1) I stay up all night sleep all day
there's never enough time to play
(I've)got a drink in my hand
sand in my toes and that's the way life goes

B section) living is easy with you there to please me
don't care if you tease me from nine to five

CHORUS: DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES

V2) Riding the wind taste of the sea
sun on my face that's the life for me
resting my bones and loving with ease
yeh that's the way life goes

B Section: Living is easy with you there to please me
don't care if you tease me from nine to five

CHORUS: DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES

Bridge: Instrumental

CHORUS: DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES

Nice mix and the musicianship is top notch. I like the catchy steel guitar solo fills and backing parts. Nice idea with the echo backing vocals before the chorus. The carefully worked out instrumentation and arrangement really fit the song.

Nice to hear a song with a great attitude. Every instrument is perfectly placed in this cool arrangement. The vocals are also perfect. First class songwriting, too! Hope you get a hit out of this one!

Great vibe, lyrics, instruementation and hook. Loved the story/message in the song! I love it! Great job!

A very pleasant song, tempered and smooth - great refrain, love the way it is presented with the little hitch in go-hoes. Like the Trala la, too. A sweet sense of humor that doesn't push you or the vocalist aside with noise as many country music songs do. Nice to write a happy review

Excellent job. Love it. I hear Darius Rucker all over it.

I really like the feel of this song it has a country fill with a kinda caribbean groove to it defiantly would like to hear more great job

Congratulations on a great delivery of the instrumentation and vocals. I really liked the home, and the Jimmy Buffet- like theme. Very marketable, for beach or country styles.
I would definitely love this song to beach bands ask them to add some horns.

retro 80's song . like something from a comedy from that time.
good vocals

I like the sound of the drums and the rhythm guitar - I also like the lead singers voice.

The feel and ideas are great and well planned out. This has a tropical blended feel with country and that is great, the touches of tropical feel come from the beat and instrumentation, rounding out with the lyrics which stay primarily country in the general feel.

This was a mix of pop and country, it had an easy feel to it, enjoyed listening to it. I could see it being a modern country song in today's market.I loved the fast beat to the melody. It was a good song.

Nice sort of J.Taylor vibe going on here...
Nice song for sure
Good vocal(s)
Tight instrumentation
Well done you!

Great vocal, great arrangement. Somehow I don't feel if the song will stay with me. The lyrics is clever but it needs to build up to the hook.

It's very well produced and played and whatever, the song is a standard adult eighties pop, Springsteen + Knopfler + Dylan + Gabriel + Sting. I must say that I find the chorus hateful.

Awesome, loving the way life goes. Good job

I love this song, the chorus/hook is very catchy and has a great beat to it, great instrumental and arrangement. Good vocals and harmonies in the song.

great vocal

nice song well recorded ..could see it in tv prog or a movie

like the energy, free breezy tune.

nice song,good feel, good vocals, great rythem

Good song the brother!!! Seriously, everything was spot on! the back singers were a nice touch and the band was magnifico!
you really got yourself a quality track that's pitch ready by Nashville's standards and not only that, but kinda Kenny Chesney sounding to boot! so got go get 'em bud cause that'll do it if anything will. very impressed, its a simple (in a good way), happy and carefree tune and i could imagine hearing it on the radio.
