Life Was A Play Lyrics - Boomtown - Toby Keith

Lookin' back on my younger days 

Life was a play and the world a stage 

Lust, love and greed were in my heart 

I thought I had to play each part 

I'd skip school and get in a fight 

Had a different girl every Friday night 

But it all came out in the wash 

Dad always said boys will be boys

Mom and dad backed me through it all 

Picked me up each time I'd fall 

In fact they called it growing pains 

And said all kids must try such things 

They kept the faith and brought me through 

I still make a mistake or two 

Lookin' back on my younger days 

Life was a play and the world a stage 

I lost my driver's license twice 

For speeding and running red lights 

But like all kids I lived and learned 

Play with fire and you'll get burned 

I bucked the system day and night 

Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine 

Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool 

It's clear to me now I was a fool

Mom and dad backed me through it all 

Picked me up each time I'd fall 

In fact they called it growing pains 

And said all kids must try such things 

They kept the faith and brought me through 

I still make a mistake or two 

Lookin' back on my younger days 

Life was a play and the world a stage 

Yeah everything turned out ok 

Life was a play and the world a stage
