Nearly everything I wanted, everything I ever could have dreamed of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love
Nearly everything I thought, everything I thought I might try
Almost all came true, ooh, I'm satisfied

So don't cry (don't cry), don't cry (don't cry)
When I die (don't cry) remember me with a smile in my eye
It's been a long hard drive and maybe my car caught fire
But nearly everything, everything came out fine

Almost got it, almost have it all
But you know you don't run, oh, unless you're willing to fall
Nearly everything I wanted, everything I ever could have dreamed of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love

So don't cry (don't cry), don't cry (don't cry)
When I die (don't cry) remember me with a smile in my eye
It's been a long hard drive and maybe my car caught fire
But nearly everything, everything came out fine

That's my life in a nutshell, baby, you do what you can do
That's my life in a nutshell, baby, you do what you can do
That's my life in a nutshell, that's my life in a nutshell

Life, life…
