The Ass and the Hole

Lyrics

[Intro: Mac McAnally] This modern age we live in, it's hard to figure out If anybody out there talkin' Has a clue what they're talkin' about [Verse 1: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] There's twisted trends, and psychic friends And tabloid UFOs And the wisest man with the best laid plan Might still say, I don't know What do you think? I say, well [Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] They must not be that different The ass and the hole in the ground They often are mistaken for each other I have found [Chorus: Both Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] Oh, and life rewards the ones who try Until they've got it down The diffеrence between thеir ass and the hole in the ground [Verse 2: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] Yeah, politics and OJ, everybody hears enough When no amount'a talkin' Can change a mind that's been made up [Verse 3: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] We got presidential pillow talk They know just what to say Whatever side you're on One thing's for certain either way [Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] Yeah, they must not be that different The ass and the hole in the ground They often are mistaken for each other I have found [Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] Oh, and life rewards the ones who've tried Until they've got it down The difference between their ass and a hole in the ground [Bridge: Both Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] In the morning paper, in the evening news It seems so easy tell When the Lord looks down at the things we do He might get angry and he might say, well [Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] They must not be that different [Instrumental] 2:07 - 2:18 [Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Mac McAnally] Yeah, and life rewards the ones who've tried Until they've got it down The difference between their ass and the hole Yeah, their ass and the hole The ass and the hole in the ground
