From the recording Life Gets in the Way (2026)

Lyrics

In simpler days
Things were so clear
You knew what to say and to do
You planned out your path
Family, home, kids, and craft
But then life threw your schemes all askew

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way

Spinning on the hamster wheel
Cubicle blues
Crazy bosses home and away
Not getting any younger
Gotta take back control
And discover my own special way

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way

Relationships many
Real friends oh so few
Don’t know who or what is to blame
I guess it doesn’t matter, we all find our own niche
But why’s it so hard to play the game?

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way

Sure — you can remain way depressed
Feeling sorry for yourself every day
But there’s always someone doing it tougher than you
So be thankful that you’re mostly okay

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way

Life finds a way
To shatter your hopes, demolish your dreams
Just when you think you’re making headway
Life gets in the way
