Awful Beautiful Life According to De's Characters

I woke up early with a poundin' in my head I'd been out the night before with all my friends

A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins."

My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first "You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church."

I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautiful life

I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake

We met the family for dinner at our home Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks

My little brother had a big fight with his wife And my poor mother sat between 'em both all night

I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautiful life

We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq We're all aware that he may never make it back

We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes And how he loved to be a soldier more than most

I laid in bed that night and thought about the day And how my life is like a roller coaster ride

The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight

You can't really smile until you've shed some tears I could die today or I might live on for years

I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautiful life

I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautiful life

Alright It's a beautiful life Awful, beautiful, life

I love this life It's a beautiful life

Gotta say I was surprised when I finally got to watch this with audio. Turns out western!De is threatening his cousin, with whom he has long-standing beef.

Just saying, if this is how he looks at a relative he hates, how do you suppose he’d look at a stranger he liked? 😜
