It's Always Something Lyrics

It's Always Something
By Steve Seskin and Kevin Fisher

MY AUTO MECHANIC SAYS I NEED NEW BRAKES
AND FIVE HUNDRED BIG ONES IS ALL IT'S GONNA TAKE
I'M SHAKIN' MY HEAD I'M SWEARIN' AT THE STARS
'CAUSE THAT'S MORE THAN I PAID FOR THE WHOLE d*** CAR
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
MY IN-LAWS ARE COMING IN LESS THAN A WEEK
JUST THINKING ABOUT IT I'M LOSING SLEEP
THE WOLF'S AT MY DOOR AND THE WORLD'S GOING TO WAR
AND MY TWO-YEAR-OLD JUST FINGER-PAINTED THE FLOOR

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
WE'VE ALL GOTTA RISE ABOVE
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
IN LIFE AND LOVE
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
BUT AIN'T IT BETTER THAN NOTHING
THERE'S A LEAK IN THE ROOF AND A STORM IN THE SKY
AND UNCLE SAM KEEPS BLEEDIN' ME DRY
SO IT'S EARLY TO WORK AND LATE COMIN' HOME
BEFORE I KNOW IT MY KIDS WILL BE GROWN
FINALLY TOOK A VACATION THEY LOST OUR BAGS
CAME HOME TO A TICKET FOR EXPIRED TAGS
MY HAIR'S GETTING THINNER BUT I'M A SWEEPSTAKES WINNER
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID WHEN THEY CALLED DURING DINNER

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
WE'VE ALL GOT HILLS TO CLIMB
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
WE'RE ALL IN A RACE AGAINST TIME
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
BUT AIN'T IT BETTER THAN NOTHING
I MAY NEVER BE WEALTHY BUT I'M ALREADY RICH
GOT FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
AND MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
AND HER MOTHER JUST SAID SHE'LL TAKE THE KIDS FOR THE NIGHT

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
PUTS A SMILE BACK ON MY FACE
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
MAKES ME GLAD I'M STILL IN THE RACE
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
BUT AIN'T IT BETTER THAN NOTHING
