"Ain't Life Sweet" lyrics - PO' GIRL

You can take your money
You can keep it
Can't tell me who to become
You can take your age old wisdom
With you to kingdom come
Because degrees and all that education
Sure don't matter where I come from
I was born and raised in the boonies
Beside the river my home
I was born and raised in the boonies
Beside the river my home

Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care
Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care

Tell me not the run with the wild ones
Tell me to talk real clean
Tell me to act as straight as you
Not to act so mean
And I've got deep feelings about
Those last words leaving you
I was born and raised in the boonies
I was fed on irish stew
I was born and raised in the boonies
I was fed on irish stew

Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care
Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care

You can have a house in the country
You can have one in the city too
You can borrow one in Europe
Or what about Timbuktu
You can have it all in a nutshell
And together like crazy glue
You can lie with me in my country shack
And dismiss the things that I do
You can lie with me in my country shack
And dismiss the things that I do

Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care
Ain't life sweet, we know what we're doing
Ain't life sweet, when we're not afraid to care
