Well, I was gonna clean the garage today
But the lawn mower wouldn't start, so I just let it lay
Then I thought I'd fix that leaky kitchen sink
But the hardware store was closed, so I went for a drink

And it's always somethin'
If it ain't one thing, it's another
Just when you think you've got it all figured out
Life throws a curve and you're down for the count

My truck was runnin' like a top last week
Now it's makin' a noise that sounds mighty bleak
The dog got out and chased the neighbor's cat
And I can't find my keys, now how 'bout that?

And it's always somethin'
If it ain't one thing, it's another
Just when you think you've got it all figured out
Life throws a curve and you're down for the count

I planned a fishin' trip down by the lake
But a thunderstorm rolled in, for goodness sake
The TV remote's batteries went dead
And there's a squeaky floorboard right by the bed

Yes, it's always somethin'
If it ain't one thing, it's another
Just when you think you've got it all figured out
Life throws a curve and you're down for the count

Yeah, life throws a curve and you're down for the count
