[Intro-choral harmony]

Sometimes life, is a big ole’ cliche….

ain't got no soul they say.

I'm just a fool….

but it ain’t gonna ruin my day.

[electric guitar riff]

Verse 1

Sometimes I see….

a shadow following me.

It don't make no sense….

cause it's as dark as can be.

Sometimes I walk….

when the rain's fallin’ down.

I can't believe it's so….

ain't no cloud to follow me 'round.

Chorus

Sometimes life, is a big ole’ cliche….

ain't got no soul they say.

I'm just a fool….

but it ain’t gonna ruin my day.

Sometimes, sometimes…….life is a big ole cliche’

[musical interlude]

Verse 2

Sometimes I speak…

the truth of all my bad.

I don't know how…

but I get something I never had.

Sometimes jet black…

is dark as grey.

I tried some other colors…

but they ain't got nothin' to say.

Sometimes life…

cain’t be explained,

like the sun shinin’ bright…

on the day it rained.

Chorus

Sometimes life, is a big ole’ cliche….

ain't got no soul they say.

I'm just a fool….

but it ain’t gonna ruin my day.

Sometimes, sometimes…….life is a big ole cliche’

[electric guitar-dynamic, saxophone riff]

Verse 3

Sometimes the rain…

comes up from the ground.

How it got there…

is still going round'.

Sometimes success…

comes measured in a cup.

ain't got no business being there…

for those who give up.

Sometimes a poem….

makes no sense at all.

words with no reason…

standing so dang tall.

Chorus [Crescendo]

Sometimes life, is a big ole’ cliche….

ain't got no soul they say.

I'm just a fool….

but it ain’t gonna ruin my day.

Sometimes, sometimes…….life is a big ole cliche’

[Musical interlude]

Outro

Sometimes a poem….

makes no sense at all….

words with no reason…

standing so dang tall…….

Sometimes……. Sometimes….. life, is a big ole’ cliche’……. but it ain’t gonna ruin my day……….
