  • 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 Writer/s: CYNTHIA EVELYN THOMSON, TOMMY LEE JAMES
