The Secret of Life

Written by: Gretchen Peters

Produced by: Byron Gallimore & Faith Hill

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'

Down at the Starlight Bar

One of 'em says, "you know I've been thinkin'"

Other one says, "that won't get you too far"

He says, "this is your life and welcome to it

It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams

Ad on TV says Just do it

Hell if I know what that means"

	E
	The secret of life is a good cup of coffee

	C#m
	The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball

	A
	The secret of life is a beautiful woman

	B
	And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall

You and me, we're just a couple of zeros

Just a couple of down-and-outs

But movie stars and football heroes

What do they have to be unhappy about

So they turn to the bartender

"Sam, what do you think

What's the key that unlocks that door"

Sam don't say nothin', just wipes off the bar

And he pours them a couple more

	E
	'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis

	C#m
	The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes

	A
	The secret of life is in Monday night football

	B
	Rolling Stones records and mom's apple pie

E C#m A B (lead here)

Sam looks up from his Sunday paper

Says, "boys you're on the wrong track

The secret of life is there ain't no secret

And you don't get your money back"

	E
	The secret of life is getting up early

	C#m
	The secret of life is staying up late

	A
	The secret of life is try not to hurry

	B
	But don't wait....don't wait

	E
	The secret of life is a good cup of coffee

	C#m
	The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball

	A
	The secret of life is to find the right woman

	B	E
	The secret of life is nothin' at all

	C#m
(Oh it's nothin' at all)

	A
	The secret of life

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'

Down at the Starlight Bar

One of 'em says, "you know I've been thinkin'"

Other one says, "that won't get you too far"
