She grew up midwest
her parents taught her best
and showed how good her life could be
with lots of money

then she got a little older and moved to california
ignored all advice
ignored all the warnings they gave
those good warnings

well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here
how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon you’ll see my pretty face up on the silver screen
posing in the pictures of magazines, yeah
who knows what life may bring

he grew up on his own
some people called him strange
the kids thought crazy, parents thought deranged they’d say
that poor family

then he got a little older and joined up in the service
and made his mother proud
made his father nervous he gave
those good warnings

well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon i’ll head on back home get to my routine
forget all the blood death that i’ve seen, yeah
who knows what life may bring

well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon I’ll head on back home get to my routine
forget all the booze drugs that i’ve seen, yeah
who knows what life may bring
