[Intro]
[Verse]
There s a fast food bag wadded up in the backseat
Row of fence posts starin right back at me
Get a refill at the 7-11
Still hotter than hell in the shade at seven
Cash my check
Fill up the tank
Buy you a flower
And buy us a drink
To sip on
To live on
Watchin that summer sun drip on
Fields of green
And baby I wouldn t change a thing
[Chorus]
It ain t always pretty, but you are
It ain t easy, girl, but it ain t too hard
Meet you at the corner pub, save me a seat
Won t be anybody there lucky as me
A blue-collared blue-eyed worth it
Yeah, whatever we re doin is workin
Like Jack and Diane, just singin our ditty
Life goes on, it ain t always pretty
But you are
[Verse]
There s a Mickey Mouse magnet on a Frigidaire
Holdin me and you laughin at the county fair
Merry-go-round and round it goes
Just like these dusty nowhere roads
It s either too dry, or rainin
It s either hurry-up, or waitin
I love it that you like the way I sing
Sunday mornin , cigarette, Amazing Grace
[Chorus]
It ain t always pretty, but you are
It ain t easy, girl, but it ain t too hard
Meet you at the corner pub, save me a seat
Won t be anybody there lucky as me
A blue-collared blue-eyed worth it
Yeah, whatever we re doin is workin
Like Jack and Diane, just singin our ditty
Life goes on, it ain t always pretty
But you are
Whoa you are
[Bridge]
We ll get it wrong or get it right
Funny thing about this beautiful life
[Chorus]
It ain t always pretty, but you are
It ain t easy, girl, but it ain t too hard
Meet you on the front porch, save me a seat
Won t be anybody there lucky as me
A blue-collared blue-eyed worth it
Yeah, whatever we re doin is workin
Like Jack and Diane, just singin our ditty
Life goes on, it ain t always pretty
But you are
Whoa you are
[Outro]
They re playin our song, baby, sing it with me
Life goes on, it ain t always pretty
But you are
