A Stone In My Shoe

Life's like a stone in my shoe
A single pit in a cherry pie
The only cloud in a clear blue sky
The only bone in the fish that I fried

Well there's good luck, And there's bad luck
And there ain't no luck at all
Lately its been every day
I'm the man who takes the fall
Let me tell you about my day, and I'll tell you about my night
I've heard some say that life ain't fair
And I think they might be right

Mowin' the lawn and I kicked up a stone, found the windshield of my truck
Got too close to a fire ant hill, They swarmed out for the kill
My daughter turned into Jekyll and Hyde, It's best I stay outside
I' ran out of beer and I'm out of smokes, The store – closed -- an hour ago

Life's like a stone in my shoe
A single pit in a cherry pie
The only cloud in a clear blue sky
The only bone in the fish that I fried

Well the wife was in a bad mood, who knows what I did
Sometimes the fact your breathin' is a husbands biggest sin
She looked me in the eyes, and I felt a sense of dread
Now I can't sleep, can't close my eyes, afraid I might just - wake up dead

Life's like a stone in my shoe
A single pit in a cherry pie
The only cloud in a clear blue sky
The only bone in the fish that I fried

A single pit in a cherry pie
The only cloud in a clear blue sky
