Well I woke up Tuesday morning, coffee in my hand Looked out the kitchen window, at my piece of promised land There’s Hank’s big Angus bull, standing by my dairy cow (Oh, shit!)
And from the look upon their faces, well, it’s too damn late now
Shit happens It is what it is – (Deal with it) That is life (That is life)
My wife comes storming out there, fire in her eyes “No milk for seven months now!” – yeah, I realize The bull just chews his cud there, looking mighty satisfied
(The bastard)
While Bessie bats her lashes and I’m trying not to smile
Shit happens It is what it is – (Deal with it) That is life (That is life)
Hank comes over sheepish, hat in both his hands Says his fence got compromised, apologetic as a man can stand I could raise hell and holler, could demand he make it right But I just shake his hand and say, “We’ll get through just fine”
Shit happens It is what it is –(Deal with it) That is life (That is life)
I was high on the mountain my teacher told me years ago Said “Chuck, you don’t control the weather” Can’t control how the wind blows Just plant your feet, face forward Take whatever comes your way
Guess… also your neighbor’s bull (Is what he tried to say)
Yea, he told ya
Shit happens (It surely does) It is what it is – deal with it (Ain’t no other way) That is life (That is life) Yeah, that is life
Bessie’s gonna have a calf come spring
Might be a blessing in disguise But don’t tell my wife I said that…
(Shit happens, deal with it, that is life)
