Lyrics
Slice of Life
Mama plays the organ at the church
Daddy plays the jukebox at the bar
Sister's playing games down on main street
Brother's stealing cd's from parked cars
Sister tells me she'll never marry
My brother came home with two new wives
Daddy says he must know what he's doing
But I think he's ruining all of our lives
Chorus:
Yes mama's livin' in her little dream world
Where there is no misery or strife
Daddy smiles and tells me everything is natural
We're just livin' in our own slice of life
Just livin' in our own slice of life
Aunt Roses workin' at the five and ten
Uncle Joe still makes his homemade brew
Cousin Jenny left three years ago
She just disappeared without a clue
I'm goin' to sew me a hip pocket
One big enough to fit my jack knife
Then I'll have it made like my Daddy
And carve me out my own slice of life
Repeat Chorus twice:
then tag...Just livin' in our own slice of life
