from Zane Rankin Hosted by Zane Rankin
An original song written and performed by Zane Rankin ©2016 BMI All Rights Reserved She was 19 years old and a fireman's daughter Set my heart all ablaze and I never forgot her But our timing was wrong, she was oil to my water And I had to watch her just walk away It was another five years before I saw her again She was there at a party, standing next to her friend I said "hey do you remember?" she started to grin And the sunlight broke in through the haze Oh, it's a pretty good life for a man with no wife You get the bed to yourself, there ain't no marital strife Your friends come over to stay all night and half the next day And there ain't no woman there to chase 'em away We went out for a walk, and we started to talk About everything under the stars We talked about mama, and we talked about trucks And we talked about life behind bars Flash forward a few and she's eating for two And the bill on the Chevy ain't the only thing due I couldn't stop grinning if the Yankees were winning Another pennant, there on the tube Oh, it's a pretty good life for a man with a wife You get half of the bed, almost no marital strife Your friends come over to stay, a couple minutes a day If they're nice to your woman, she won't chase 'em away Oh, it's a pretty good life with the kids and the wife Your ass hangs off of the bed, no time for marital strife Your friends come over to stay, most every holiday They all love your woman, and she likes it that way
