Lifes Ups And Downs

Song	Lifes Ups And Downs
Artist	Marty Stuart
Album	Saturday Night/Sunday Morning

	I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL HER
	THAT I DIDN’T GET THAT RAISE IN PAY TODAY.
	AND I KNOW HOW MUCH SHE WANTED THE DRESS
	IN BAKER’S WINDOW, AND IT BREAKS MY HEART
	TO SEE HER HAVE TO WAIT…
	AND CANCEL THE PLANS SHE MADE TO CELEBRATE.
	BUT I CAN COUNT ON HER TO TAKE IT
	WITH A SMILE AND NOT A FROWN.
	SHE KNOWS THAT LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS,
	LIKE PONIES ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND.
	AND NO ONE GRABS THE BRASS RING EVERYTIME
	BUT SHE DON’T MIND.
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND IT’S MINE.
	THE NEW HOUSE PLANS WE’VE HAD SO LONG,
	I GUESS WILL GATHER DUST ANOTHER YEAR.
	AND THE DAFFODILS ARE BLOOMING
	THAT SHE PLANTED WAY LAST FALL
	UPON THE HILL, AND OVER BY THE GATE.
	AND LORD KNOWS I HATE TO SAY AGAIN WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT.
	BUT YOU CAN BET THAT SHE’LL JUST TAKE IT
	WITH A SMILE AND NOT A FROWN.
	SHE KNOWS THAT LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS,
	LIKE PONIES ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND.
	AND NO ONE GRABS THE BRASS RING EVERYTIME
	BUT SHE DON’T MIND. OH BABY DON’T MIND
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND I’M SO GLAD THAT IT’S MINE!
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND I’M SO GLAD THAT IT’S MINE!

	I DON' T KNOW HOW TO TELL HER
	THAT I DIDN' T GET THAT RAISE IN PAY TODAY.
	AND I KNOW HOW MUCH SHE WANTED THE DRESS
	IN BAKER' S WINDOW, AND IT BREAKS MY HEART
	TO SEE HER HAVE TO WAIT
	AND CANCEL THE PLANS SHE MADE TO CELEBRATE.
	BUT I CAN COUNT ON HER TO TAKE IT
	WITH A SMILE AND NOT A FROWN.
	SHE KNOWS THAT LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS,
	LIKE PONIES ON A MERRYGOROUND.
	AND NO ONE GRABS THE BRASS RING EVERYTIME
	BUT SHE DON' T MIND.
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND IT' S MINE.
	THE NEW HOUSE PLANS WE' VE HAD SO LONG,
	I GUESS WILL GATHER DUST ANOTHER YEAR.
	AND THE DAFFODILS ARE BLOOMING
	THAT SHE PLANTED WAY LAST FALL
	UPON THE HILL, AND OVER BY THE GATE.
	AND LORD KNOWS I HATE TO SAY AGAIN WE' LL HAVE TO WAIT.
	BUT YOU CAN BET THAT SHE' LL JUST TAKE IT
	WITH A SMILE AND NOT A FROWN.
	SHE KNOWS THAT LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS,
	LIKE PONIES ON A MERRYGOROUND.
	AND NO ONE GRABS THE BRASS RING EVERYTIME
	BUT SHE DON' T MIND. OH BABY DON' T MIND
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND I' M SO GLAD THAT IT' S MINE!
	SHE WEARS A GOLD RING ON HER FINGER,
	AND I' M SO GLAD THAT IT' S MINE!
