	Story Behind the Song I am in the middle of a lot of circumstances. Some that are so crazy I can't comprehend them. I sat down one night and wrote this, recorded it and mixed it the next day. I was really in a rush to do it because I knew it would be a long time before I would be able to record again. My life is in the east coast and my studio is in New Orleans. I come from a crazy family, like many people do. I don't usually use cliche's, but I was trying to get some perspective, and realized that's just what life is...to everyone who is going through a rough time. I wrote this song in the hot hot sweaty heat of New Orleans. It really doesn't reflect my true singing voice, but this is really more of a narative song. Lyrics This is a story about my life I know nobody cares but it's what I'm thinking tonight I'm sittin here smokin have another beer another beer Just passin time, holdin my fear That's just what life is That's the way it goes That's just what life is That's just what it is Uncle murdered, found dead in a motel Grandpa had half a leg and one hand, that was hell Other grandpa shakin couldn't hold his drink, hold his drink My father should have gone to jail, ooh that's what I think That's just what life is, The way the twisted wind blows That's just what life is A deck full of unknown Sisters been strung out, most her life My aunt died of cancer, she was cool, man she was allright Little brother he's a drug mason, he's pushin his stone Old man next store dies in jail, couldn't leave us kids alone My grandma at 80 she married, she has no fear My mother had a really tough life, now she's lookin in the mirror Uh! My older brother he rides fast on his motercycle He's normal, so am I, his name is Michael That's just what life is The circle just grows That's just what life is That's just what it is That's just what life is It's so simple I know That's just what life is Just the way it goes That's just what life is So simple I know That's just what life is The way the twisted wind blows
