It Ain't the End of the World

I got a feeling that the wind has changed
And those leaves are starting to churn
My hair's going gray and I must convey
My figure has seen better days

Well don't you despair, 'cause I got it made
A motto I choose to believe
If your life's a lemon, and made lemonade
There's always a final reprieve

It ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
There's a twist and a turn
To each lesson you learn
First you're up then you're bust
Living life on a crust
But it ain't the end of the world
It's only a fly in your soup
If your car falls apart
Or a broad breaks your heart
It's a stink, just a kink
Nothing more

They say we're getting rusty, we should take a bow
Throw a saddle on that mule and disappear
You first, 'cause I'm not quite done and we're still having fun
Just like wine getting better every year

'Cause it ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
It's a pain in the neck'
And a pain in the back
But it ain't the end of the world

So smile when they show you to the door
There's a sunrise waiting on the other shore
Go ride your luck in the face of disaster
Make every moment a blast-er

It ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
There's a twist and a turn
To each lesson you learn
First you're up then you're bust
Living life on a crust
But it ain't the end of the world, buddy
It's only the end of this song
It's been a gas, been a flip
Been a hell of a trip
But it ain't the end of the world
