Artist: Beverley Mahood
Album: Unmistakable
Genre: Country
The white picket fence we always talked about
Is in the next-door neighbour's yard
Still got a lot of plans and hopes and dreams
And too many maxed out credit cards
And well, I hear the post man every morning
I hear the letters hit the floor
I got so many past due warnings I can't even close the drawer
Can't hardly pinch another penny
Can hardly find a dime to stretch
But if it's as good as it's gonna get
Well ain't it good to be alive
I've got some dark clouds in the sky
Just got a rain drop in my eye
But ain't it good to be alive
I've got a ticket on my car
But I've got a ticket to the stars
He'll be waiting there when I pull in the drive
Ain't it good, yeah ain't it, ain't it good to be alive
Yeah
Life and love songs on the radio
Remember when that's what love was like
All the pretty people on those TV shows
Tryin? to survive in paradise
And well what about the real life lovers?
Two jobs and too many bills to pay
Watch ?em try and keep it together when the ends get further away
Traffic jams and frustrations
Just a touch of temptation
A lot of love and a little faith
Well ain't it good to be alive
I've got some dark clouds in the sky
Just got a rain drop in my eye
But ain't it good to be alive
I've got a ticket on my car
But I've got a ticket to the stars
He'll be waiting there when I pull in the drive
Ain't it good, yeah ain't it, ain't it good to be alive
Yeah so good
The bright side shines like a million suns
When the day is done I'm in your arms
And that's like just penny's in a wishing well
Love is alive and well and in our hearts
Well ain't it good to be alive
I've got some dark clouds in the sky
Just got a rain drop in my eye
But ain't it good to be alive
I've got a ticket on my car
But I've got a ticket to the stars
He'll be waiting there when I pull in the drive
Ain't it good, yeah ain't it, ain't it good to be alive
Oh so good, so good to be alive
Ain?t it good to be, ain?t it good to be alive
