You Cannot Win 'em All Lyrics - Steve Forbert

You've got a lotta detail in your life, of late you find 

Hey, now that you got kids, well, things loom larger in your mind 

You make your best decisions in the time that you're allowed 

And still get caught at Christmas in that final countdown crowd 

It's always problems everywhere, you're juggling everyone 

You do your best each day but when the sun goes down it's done, it's done 

And then what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall 

Don't let it keep you up nights when you know my friend 

You cannot win 'em all, oh no 

Exterminator, lawyer, doctor, daycare, dental bill 

Hey, now that you're essential, have you made yourself a will? 

You gotta have insurance just to drive your car to work 

And wind up down in court with some bad actor, neck brace jerk 

It's always problems everywhere, you're juggling everyone 

You do your best each day but when the sun goes down it's done, it's done 

And then what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall 

Don't let it keep you up nights when you know my friend 

You cannot win 'em all, oh no 

Can't no one stop that airport that they're building over there? 

Those planes won't hardly clear your trees and noise will fill the air 

So set your sights on silent nights and greener pastures still 

So much for your retirement dreams on Oakview Pleasant Hill 

It's always problems everywhere, you're juggling everyone 

You do your best each day but when the sun goes down it's done, it's done 

And then what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall 

Don't let it keep you up nights when you know my friend 

You cannot win 'em all, oh no, oh no
