La Vie

Lyrics

My life on the road Oh, I love and I hate it Sitting in airports glad and frustrated And waiting for love to arrive My grandmother, Myrtle Has outlasted two husbands All of her sisters, brothers and cousins And wonders why she's still alive But she smiles and will tell you That trouble won't kill you 'Cause if it did, she would have died Oh, la vie est dure That much is sure Mais Dieu est bon si bon Through the fire and the rain I call Him by name And when the night is long I remember mais Dieu est bon Got a sister in Texas who married an outlaw Then realized he wasn't what she thought Now she's fine that he's doing time My dear friend Anita came down with cancer And I came down hard looking for answers Under a silent dark sky But to see her you'd wonder How after the thunder There's still a light in her eye Oh, la vie est dure That much is sure Mais Dieu est bon si bon Through the fire and the rain I call Him by name And when the night is long I remember mais Dieu est bon Some say tighten your grip Keep a stiff upper lip Life goes on, but the stoics are wrong They know half of the story And none of the glory For they do not know Dieu est bon Oh, la vie est dure That much is sure Mais Dieu est bon si bon Through the fire and the rain I call Him by name And when the night is long I remember Oh, la vie est dure That much is sure Mais Dieu est bon si bon, si bon Through the fire and the rain I call Him by name And when the night is long I remember mais Dieu est bon
