Life Is Messy Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

When you're the last one to know 

What everybody knows 

Shame falls down 

When you're the last one to see 

What everybody sees 

Shame falls down like rain falls down 

Life is messy 

It's starting to repress me 

Time and time again 

I think I'm gonna win 

And it blows up in my face

When your last hope is gone 

And you're feelin' so unable 

Shame falls down 

When your heart won't open up 

And there's love left on the table 

Fame falls down 

Like rain falls down 

Life is messy 

It's starting to distress me 

They sell it in the press 

They smell it on your breath 

But you keep on comin' clean 

Life is messy 

I don't wanna go back home 

The streets are lined in rubble 

A heart that's made of stone 

Can lead you into trouble 

Photos 

Life is messy 

It's trying to depress me 

They can kick you in the nuts 

They can hit you where it hurts 

Don't get down on your knees 

Life is messy 

I feel like Elvis Presley 

At a very early age 

They put you in a cage 

And they push you out on stage 

Life is messy
