[Verse 1]
Thought I needed some medicine
But this is how I always been
‘Cause we always go too far
Never know when if we will end
Which way do you recommend?
They can know me …
[Intro: Ina Wroldsen]
Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Verse 1: Ina Wroldsen]
You used to like me touching you
You used to feel the sparks
I used to make you love with madness
I …
[Verse 1]
Like a scream inside, the one you just can’t hide
Sounds so deafening, you can’t hear yourself think
As real as real can it
Keeping my heart in check, from feeling anything …
[Verse 1]
Just because I can’t put my finger on the problem
Doesn’t mean there ain’t a problem
We’re so quick to think history could just solve ’em
Don’t you think we would’ve solved …
[Chorus: Elley Duhé]
You’re a world away
Somewhere in the crowd
In a foreign place
Are you happy now?
There’s nothing left to say
So I shut my mouth
So won’t you tell me, babe
Are you happy …
Saturday night and a six pack, girl,
Big star shining on a small town world,
It’s a helluva life, it’s a helluva life. 1
KC lights on a dirt road dance,
You take that kiss just as far as you can,
It’s a helluva life, it’s a Helluva life. 2
And pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and longneck bottles, 3
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin,
To a song that’s playin on the radio station. 4
Bad times make the good times better,
Look in her eyes and you’re gone forever,
Aw it’s a helluva ride… Yeah, It’s a helluva life. 5
Well we all have faith, and we all have hope,
But we’re all a little lost in the same damn boat. 6
It’s a helluva life, it’s a helluva life.
Something bout the night girl,
When you got the right girl,
Sittin right beside you,
Lookin at the sky, girl
Thinkin bout why we’re here,
And where we’re goin,
Baby, here we are,
And all I know is… 7
Pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and longneck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin,
To a song that’s playin and the world starts fadin’. 8
Bad times make the good times better,
Look in her eyes and you’re gone forever,
It’s a helluva ride… Yeah, It’s a helluva life.
Something bout the night girl,
When you got the right girl,
Sittin right beside you,
Lookin at the sky, girl
Thinkin bout why we’re here,
And where we’re goin,
Baby, here we are,
And all I know is…
Pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and longneck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin,
To a song that’s playin, it’s the perfect combination.
Bad times make the good times better,
Look in her eyes and you’re gone forever,
It’s a helluva ride… Yeah, It’s a helluva life, it’s a helluva life.
Bad times make the good times better.
Aw one helluva life.
Look in her eyes and you’re gone forever.
It’s a helluva life.
Yeah it’s a helluva life.
It’s a helluva life. 9
0Frankie is talking of enjoying a Saturday with his girl, taking it easy with some alcohol, enjoying a starry night. The big star that he is referring to could be the moon although, technically it is not a star.
He sings that street lights seem to be dancing and he remembers the last kiss that he shared with his girl, whose memory, he says will keep him extra happy for as long as is possible.
Frankie says that even the least amount of money has value, which when added up to to others of its kind makes real money that one can actually spend. Just like the saying that you can’t make a million dollars without one dollar. It could also be his way of saying that every little memory counts in the bigger picture.
He sings that enjoying a beer makes a girl forget all about life’s issues and she is caught in the moment listening to music which she moves her body along to.
Frankie is saying that after the rain comes the sun or after hardships, things always get better. His girl somehow finds a way to makes things better and he loses himself in her company.
Frankie means that even though people are all in the same planet, all have their own small problems and by going through these problems, people learn about hope and faith that everything will work out in the end.
Frankie says that with the right girl beside it is easy to ponder the question that has besieged the human race from the beginning of time. He however, says that even when thinking about all these questions he cannot fail to appreciate that it is one hell of a life.
He means that with music and beer combined, it is easy to forget all about the world. Alternatively, when life gets too hard a little beer and music will make you forget about all the troubles that life comes with.
Frankie in this song is appreciating that life is great even with all its ups and downs, these ups and downs are actually what make life what it is.
