Story Behind the Song
The song's creation was over 20 years ago when a friend of mine started playing this chord progression (a-a-g-d, d-d-c-a) and I just came up with "my life" singing over it. In 1984 I had a re-written and arranged version very close to this current one, but a lot of the words changed (I was a really bad lyricist back then)
Lyrics
grab yourself another beer
sit right down and listen here
don't you leave I don't know what I'd do
I need somone to talk to
my life
so it's your turn to be heard
I don't hear a single word
I say "yea, uh huh", noddin' my head
then I proceed to tell you of
my life, it's all I wanna hear
my life, it's all I wanna know
my life, it's all I got to say
my life, whatcha think so far?
all I know - my life
all I hear - my life
whatchu wanna hear today
I got plenty more to say
so I'll just proceed to tell you of..
my life, it's all I wanna hear
my life, it's all I wanna know
my life, welcome to my place
my life, every day in your face
