Darryl Worley - Awful, Beautiful Life Lyrics
I woke up early with a poundin' in my head
I'd been out the night before with all my friends
A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did
I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins."
My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along
And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake
We met the family for dinner at our home
Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks
My little brother had a big fight with his wife
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq
We're all aware that he may never make it back
We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes
And how he loved to be a soldier more than most
I laid in bed that night and thought about the day
And how my life is like a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight
You can't really smile until you've shed some tears
I could die today or I might live on for years
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
Alright
It's a beautiful life
Awful, beautiful, life
I love this life
It's a beautiful life

Me 3 I miss those days
this song represents the first word in the title...awful
Great song!
I love this almost magic life !!!! (and this music) =P !
Jason Sudekis???
I don't disagree with any comments that I've read. I bet that Josh Turner or Brad Paisley can explain that country always returns to it's roots. Sometimes it has to go through Bakersfield or Austin or some small unknown village in North Korea. Sometimes roller coasters are built that way. I'm even guessing Darryl Worley might be a great college history professor, but I've never heard him interviewed. Be careful with sharing too much info online, but here goes... I'm a left coast elite-ist (born and raised, PhD dropout from the "little" bear college) that's departed father (an Okie that stumbled into California via a military base near Joshua Tree) taught me who the King of Western Swing was long before I could walk, talk, or all those other "Awful Beautiful" things. Sorry for spelling and grammar errors, I got that A in algebra!
Three chords and the truth.
the kinda song that makes you forget all lifes problems!! makes them a little less painful
Saw this guy back in 2010 or 2011 in Memphis Tennessee. I bought him and his wife of beer. They were on a date or I think it might have been their anniversary. At one of the local barbecue places. Nicest guy in the world! Tapped me on the shoulder at least two times to start a conversation with me while he sat next to us. I recognized them and address him by his name and told him I was a huge fan. Super accessible superhuman
Willy Diesel awesome story... thanks for sharing!
looking forward to summer and cruizin the country dirt roads!!!
This song makes me smile every time i miss my buddy!! Lost my brother to cancer new years eve 2011 . Miss ya jeff!! I promise to carry on the life lessons you thought me. We will meet again!!!🍺🍺Cheers!!
This song sounds like a brad paisley song
Yourockman666 Except this song came out when Paisley was still a unknown hence 2004
I wish my life was in 2004 again
not an old man
... one who can touch the hearts of billions!
What a total description of life!
The old man at the beginning reminds me of my dad and his buddies. Awnry old men!! lol
It's 'ornery', as in ... 'Some dude graciously gave me a spelling lesson, but seemed more like he was bein' ornery.'
Hey bro I know you and you know my aunt you swam in her creek a couple years ago
how I felt when I was newly married with a little one. life was exciting then
I use this line often when trying to describe being a military wife. I ALWAYS attribute it. got to see & meet him on a USO tour, extra sweet because they saw me with my surgical boot & cane and put me head of line 💕
whats up with the old guy in the beginning?
I do it just didn't realize who it was at first
+Joseph Stephens that's not George Jones
that's his grandpa
Are you trolling? That wasn't in anyway George Jones. Can't stand trolls.
Russell Buehler he is pretty much a badass we should aspire to be.
DAMN!!! that is all haha
The most underrated artist I can think of off the top of my head.
Giantintergalactic Tapeworm he has historically sang some very patriotic songs which have never gave him the recognition he deserves
Absolutely agree .... so underrated ... love his music
chris knight, gary allan, to name a few who are better. I love the guy, but still.
nice car
I love his music!
hey Doreen love it Guess Who!! hint- punta cana??????
I love this song! It truly speaks to the soul! It really put a good feeling in my heart this morning. I even shed a few tears.
Favorite part I lay in bed that night and thought about that day and how my life is like a roller coaster ride
I love the chorus because of the good use of adjectives and obviously the music.
Now this is what country should be
@David Fabian Amen to that. I love this video.
+David Fabian i love this guys music
+David Fabian Country music has lost it's way now of days.
I love being a soldier
This is a great song! I really know how this feels. 😅
Beautiful song ever
Oh my God, this song is amazing. It's hard to believe that this is the shithead who gave us the bullshit known as Have You Forgotten. Darryl, stay away from the political stuff, and make more material like this. You're way more suited for it.
Darryl Makes a hit song to commemorate the people who died during 9/11... people call him a shithead for it... That is a summary of America's problems in a nutshell.
What do you mean hes the shit head for the songs sang,.if so, ur nutz
@David Young hey the joker fan, have fun with your uneducated political ajenda
thats a badass chevelle
I really wish people liked country more because it's so amazing I remember when country was always played on the radio now it isn't played as much ;~;
Move south or get Sirius
@Lisa P I'm in Texas and still no one likes country music
SERIOUSLY?? Texas?? They have ALWAYS been the number 1 most proud! I really am shocked!! Has Austin weird taken the state? In now 25+ years around the military and Country, they've been the most loud n proud!! Come to GA/SC!! We've got tons. Texas? I've never met more proud
@Lisa P people think that Texans are all hicks and loud but truth be told everyone in Texas is like everyone else everyone here -excluding me- likes the music which is popular now like rap or pop so yeah Texas is like every other state -we don't have accents like everyone thinks also-
I know that, I was remarking about the lack of country
"and how he loved to be a Soldier more than most..." my favorite line in the song
Good lord! 10 years ago? I remember watching this video on CMT back in the day! I must have been six. 10 years goes by so fast.
I wish country was still this good! I really miss those days.
U and me both
Don't we all
Before Trump
I love this song, they don,t make them Like this no more
Love this song
cant help but smile and bob your head to this great music
Yep, Mr Sexy .. love this song!!
I think this is a great song. I also think the he was a real guy, and I have always wondered what happened to him.
He's waiting in a secret bunker awaiting the day the country music rapture happens so he can be country Jesus and push Justin Gayber off stage and culture the children dumb enough to listen to Gayber
This is my family but less dysfunctional
You didn't I was just saying how I found out. I just thought it was a cool story. His grandfather was the one that started him with a guitar so he puts him in a bunch of his videos
i wasn't trying to make anyone mad sorry if i did
because i googled it. CMT had it all over their page
how do you know Google
Am I the only one that thinks he looks a little bit like Dennis Quad?
it's his grandfather
Awesome !!
Brilliant
I love this song:)
I live in savannah but ever time he comes to sonic I still cry like a little girl
ill never forget the time he came in to a restruant that i was a cook in and had the honor of cooking for him
I love at the beginning when he says been out the night before wit all my friends and he is shaking his head lol :)
I love this song:)
Great song, great singer
I love him
Why is it when i see him i think of Jack Bauer(Keifer Sutherland)?
HardcoreAmericanUSA I'm trying to figure that one out myself because Darryl and Kiefer look NOTHING alike
Almost... DAMMIT DONT MAKE ME DISLIKE HIM!
No no. I do not have bad taste in Music. I just don't like them. Especially with the Country duo groups we have/had.
I imagine u heard lots of things, like you have a bad taste in music if u dont like that song.
They're annoying. "Baby you a song you make me wanna roll my windows down" Dafuq did I just hear?
Why must y'all hate on other people music
Y? Their songs r awesome!!!
This is such an amazing and real song. Great song Darryl like many of your others. True to feelings and life.
Looks like the governor in The Walking Dead
