What a Life Lyrics
[Intro]
What a life
What a ride
[Verse 1]
Bald-headed in his mama's garage
Jack-booted with his flag out
He got caught talking like the dick that he was
Threatening a shoot-out
Got him in a tight spot
You know you better keep it locked
Now this bad sister tried it out as a nun
Had to work with the sinners
She got caught selling hot cross buns
Butter for the winner
Gets you in a tight spot
You know she oughta keep it locked
[Chorus]
What a ride (Hey)
It doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
Living it like you own it
This baby's loaded
What a life
What a ride
[Verse 1]
Bald-headed in his mama's garage
Jack-booted with his flag out
He got caught talking like the dick that he was
Threatening a shoot-out
Got him in a tight spot
You know you better keep it locked
Now this bad sister tried it out as a nun
Had to work with the sinners
She got caught selling hot cross buns
Butter for the winner
Gets you in a tight spot
You know she oughta keep it locked
[Chorus]
What a ride (Hey)
It doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
Living it like you own it
This baby's loaded
[Verse 2]
Well, jackеd up truck driver taking a chance
Maybe hе got clumsy
He got caught with a gun in his pants
And it went off
He got it in a soft spot
You know he shoulda kept it locked
One week, you're the king of the world
The next day, it's a heart attack
It didn't take a whole army of men
You just ate one too many Big Macs
[Chorus]
What a ride (Hey)
Doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
A miracle that it's yours
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
[Bridge]
(Hey)
You're just a truck-driving son of a gun
Live it like you own it (Hey)
What a life
Live it like you own it
Well, jackеd up truck driver taking a chance
Maybe hе got clumsy
He got caught with a gun in his pants
And it went off
He got it in a soft spot
You know he shoulda kept it locked
One week, you're the king of the world
The next day, it's a heart attack
It didn't take a whole army of men
You just ate one too many Big Macs
[Chorus]
What a ride (Hey)
Doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
A miracle that it's yours
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
[Bridge]
(Hey)
You're just a truck-driving son of a gun
Live it like you own it (Hey)
What a life
Live it like you own it
[Outro]
What a ride (Hey)
It doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
A miracle that is yours
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
(Huh)
Doesn't take much to lose it
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
Watch out, 'cause I'm cruising, I'm soaring
What a ride
Living it like you own it
What a ride (Hey)
It doesn't take much to knock things up
What a ride
A miracle that is yours
This baby's loaded
What a life (Hey)
Doesn't take much to lose it
What a ride
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
(Huh)
Doesn't take much to lose it
There's booty in the back
Living it like you own it
Watch out, 'cause I'm cruising, I'm soaring
What a ride
Living it like you own it

What did Son Of Dave say about "What a Life"?
Genius Answer
This track is about life. Like a nice set of wheels, there’s booty in the back, but doesn’t take much to smash it all up. Sordid tales of various Americans living the dream, and losing it all, are humorously laid out for us in another Son Of Dave modern blues masterpiece.
