AIN’T LIFE GOOD
words & music by Pete Cenedella

When you’re on the street,
And your bill’s come due
You’re all forsaken,
You’re barely makin’ it through

Empty pockets,
And your heart is filled to overflow
The words unspoken have left you broken,
Taken by the undertow

(Chorus)
And it’s Sunday morning in the neighborhood
Cold-hearted day, not much to say
But ain’t life good.

The waters flow,
The seasons turn
They leave you achin’, the world keeps taking
More than you can earn

The rivers roll
On either side of this old town
And in-between, our hopes and dreams
Keep giving us the runaround

(Chorus)
And it’s Sunday morning in the neighborhood
Cold-hearted sky, no reason why
But ain’t life good

(Bridge)
Now some may say that heaven waits
For death and then rebirth
But from what I seen, you make your heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Yeah and Sunday morning’s just another day…

Rivers roll
On either side of this old town
And in-between, our hopes and dreams
Keep giving us the runaround,
Yeah they’re giving us the runaround

And it’s Sunday morning in the neighborhood
Cold-hearted sky, no reason why
But ain’t life good
Cold-hearted day, got bills to pay
But ain’t life good.
