Every mornin' when I get up
Jet fuel in a coffee cup
Lord knows I ain't givin' up
Gonna take on the world today

Sometimes it's green, green grass
Other times it kicks my ass
Half-full, half-empty glass
Don't matter either way

I'm gonna live the life that I'm gonna live
It ain't what I thought it was
But it is what it is, baby

This ain't no rodeo
No dog and pony show
Ain't no roller-coaster ride
Ain't no highway
Sure ain't no river, baby
It's just my so called
Just my so called life

Some days I own this town
Other days it shoots me down
As long as I'm still hangin' 'round
I'm holdin' on to hope
Faith is a powerful thing
Chasin' after the big brass ring
Might be a pocket full of jing-a-ling
But there's one thing that I know

Ya just gotta keep keepin' on doin' like ya do
You look around when it's said and done
And realize that it's true, baby

This ain't no rodeo
No dog and pony show
Ain't no roller-coaster ride
Ain't no highway
Sure ain't no river, baby
It's just my so called
Just my so called life

My so called...

This ain't no rodeo
No dog and pony show
Ain't no roller-coaster ride, yeah!
Ain't no highway
Sure ain't no river, baby
It's just my so called
Just my so called life
My so called...
