Gary Allan - Life Ain't Always Beautiful Lyrics






Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin it's sweet time

[Chorus:]
No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life ain't always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don't work that way

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin it's sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

    The most underrated artist in country music by far. This song should be a classic.

  4. s.... c....

    I love the sound of your voice ever since I was a little girl. Being sexually abused as a child your songs really help others if you see this know you may have lost your wife, but you saved a lot of us from ourselves.
    Thank you for that.

    Seen him in Cherokee NC a couple of nights ago. He said this song saved his life many times. Me to man. Takes a hell of a man to admit something like that. It saved me a time or two brother! " I can dream but life dont work that way."

  22. E.... C....

    God knows this song is the Truth ! Thank you Gary Allen, for this!! God bless 💯🙏

  23. F.... M....

    He said that exactly right. No one could have said it better. I know there's endless BS to go through, throughout the entirety of our lives. But it makes us, or it breaks us. I hate to hear about sad experiences like this. However, its something everyone needs to hear and try and learn from others experiences all we can. Seems like God really has a bit of a plan for all of us. No matter what our religious beliefs, or whatever we may be.

  24. T.... D....

    It helped me with the death of my fiancé.

  25. E.... ....

    Damn tears

  26. D.... J....

    I can't imagine how painful it would be if my wife committed suicide. How did he deal with the grief and the guilt and the despair? I don't know if I could get through it.

  27. P.... S....

    I love this song.. beautiful song...brings tears to my eyes.... emotional song...😔🎶🎸🎵❤️

  39. j.... b....

    That's my man it love

  40. A.... B....

    Who writes better songs than Gary Allan??

  41. T.... O....

    A beautiful song sang with a beautiful voice. A perfect combination. This will be a classic.

  42. J.... J....

    Sometimes feels like this song is all my grandmother left me .....

  43. A.... B....

    I’ve listened to country music on and off for several years, I’m not impressed by what Nashville is putting out today and calling it country. If there is a better country act than Gary and his band I wish someone would please show me. His songwriting and musicianship are by far unchallenged by anything that is out today. It’s a shame he doesn’t get the recognition in the industry he deserves. And he’s been through hell!! But this California boy does country the way it should be. Thank you Gary Allan

  44. M.... E....

    My life isn't beautiful right now. I lost the love of my life to bad choices I made and not listening to her. I love and miss my high school sweetheart so much. Been friends for 35 yrs...since we was 6.

  45. M.... W....

    So true lol Marilee

  46. D.... J....

    Gary Allan is in my top 5 favorite artists of all time!

  47. B.... D....

    Been struggling with addiction his music is my light

  48. C.... D....

    Beautiful

  49. S.... N....

    And the changes make you wise.

  50. R.... D....

    I am not a country western lover but there are 4-5 artists that I really love and one of them is Gary Allan. His music really speaks to my heart and this one even though it's an older made me cry today. So true..... life can break your heart. 😢

  51. B.... 2....

    My life has not away been beautiful, but it has been a beautiful ride.

  52. N.... A....

    I heard this song for the first time today. It came on the radio as I was leaving the cemetery after decorating my Mom's grave for Mother's Day and it was as if she wanted me to hear it. It reminded me that there is always a rainbow after the rain. ❤

  53. A.... B....

    Life can break u down .. the pain is neverending.. but I know if it wasn't for God I wouldn't be here .

  54. S.... B....

    My favorite country singer and always will be!!! Gary Allan has always had my top #1 his songs are so healing and pure life... Sending Love from Dallas Texas❤️

  55. B.... W....

    When I got offered the greatest job I ever had. I heard this song. Never give up on hope!! Gary Allen is the best!

  56. A.... G....

    I dedicate this song to Annabel Beam, a girl who was only five years old when she was diagnosed with two rare life threatening digestive disorders: pseudo obstruction motility disorder and antral hypomotility disorder, which resulted in frequent hospital stays.

  57. J.... M....

    I don't care what anyone says but Gary Allan you have a voice that is pure and gold this is such a beautiful song sung by you!!!❤

  58. M.... D....

    I love this song.we all have hard times in our life.The thing is someday you will look back and say, yeah I'm proud to be alife.and still see the beauty in life.

    LYRICS💕
    Life ain't always beautiful
    Sometimes it's just plain hard
    Life can knock you down
    It can break your heart.
    Life ain't always beautiful
    You think you're on your way
    And it's just a dead end road
    At the end of the day.
    But the struggles make you stronger
    And the changes make you wise
    And happiness has it's own way
    Of taking it's own sweet time.
    No, life ain't always beautiful
    Tears will fall sometimes
    Life ain't always beautiful
    But it's a beautiful ride.
    Life ain't always beautiful
    Some days I miss your smile
    I get tired of walking
    All these lonely miles.
    And wish for just one minute
    That I could see your pretty face
    Guess, I can dream
    But life don't work that way.
    But the struggles make me stronger
    And the changes make me wise
    And happiness has it's own way
    Of taking it's sweet time.
    No, life ain't always beautiful
    But I know I'll be fine
    Life ain't always beautiful
    But it's a beautiful ride.
    What a beautiful ride

    O.... A....

    Olivia Andersen These lyrics are heartbreakingly beautiful! Gary really bears his Soul through His lyrics! This song will always be one of my favorites! 2019 & still listening !

    O.... A....

    Beautiful.💕⚘

  71. B.... M....

    Should I move to Nashville? I think one day I will. Idk. I got to do something. I'm to talented to be where I'm at in SC. Sucks sometimes. Got to get my set list together. Cheers to all musicians. Sucks it's a hard ride as David Allen co said. My mom was lucky enough to meet the guy in Florida. But hey lifes what you make of it. Good song Gary!

  72. H.... P....

    I had never heard of this artist before just stumbling over this song, man what a great song I love this.

  73. B.... P....

    This song is one of the best songs ever it’s gotten me through some break ups and a lot more. Never give up!

  75. J.... M....

    A simple truth.

  76. D.... J....

    Gary Allan doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He is one of the best musicians in the business.

  77. D.... J....

    I love country music because of songs like this that deliver a powerful message.

  78. S.... C....

    Beauty is within, along side happiness.

    This really is the theme song of my life ~ and it sure ain't good.

  82. P.... C....

    The music and chords are so perfect in between the lyrics. Perfect blend of instruments and his voice. Sad and lonely songs loved by a wedding DJ

  83. J.... G....

    I love you brother!!!!❤️❤️💓 Even though I know you'll never see this...

  84. L.... N....

    Always loved Gary! Lost my hubby 3 years ago and this so hits home. Miss my Michael!

  87. b.... f....

    Why does life always seem to pick on a select few? Id be ok with being just normal and not extraordinary.

  88. J.... H....

    My mom and my sister are in nursing homes and just broke up with the love of my life. This song really hits home. One hell of a year. But all I can do is keep moving forward.

  89. b.... ....

    This and Chris Stapleton’s “Fire Away” 😢

  92. G.... B....

    Life aint always beautiful💞

  93. G.... R....

    Got to see him a couple of years ago, My first concert I went to with my Grandaughter.

  94. C.... S....

    So true today for me

  95. S.... I....

    I can definitely relate to this song, & honestly it can cut to the bone! Depending on my preset mood I guess you can say. Life is definitely NOT ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!!!! But if you've got Faith & Hope for a brighter tomorrow, a loving spouse that is with you & regardless of what your going through, they love you & put their arms around you & hurt because you do.. PRICELESS!!!! You will always come out on the best & brighter side of this life! God, lend us your promises, have mercy upon us, & lead us where you'd see fit to live our best lives possible.. Thank You, your child S.A.M.

  96. B.... C....
