You got a lot on your plate and it’s too much to handle
One thing or another both ends of the candle
With a wife and three kids and one on the way
Lately it seems there’s just ain't enough time in the day
It’ll drive you insane if your cup ain’t half full
You can’t complain and you can’t grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg, steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it’ll be short tomorrow
It’s the last thing on your mind but it’s the first thing I see
Every time I drive by I wonder just how long it’ll be
I know you ain’t got time to be working for nothing and you got mouths to feed
But when you walk out in the morning just look and you’ll see what I mean
It’ll drive you insane if your cup aint half full
You can’t complain and you can’t grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it’ll be short tomorrow
I believe what you sow in the spring you will reap in the fall
Bad luck on a string don’t mean nothing at all
What goes up don’t always come right back down
Sometimes people leave and never come back around
One thing I know is hard work always shows
And the one way to get there is to always be going
If you ain’t got friends you don’t get Christmas cards
and a good place to start’s your front yard
It’ll drive you insane if your cup ain’t half full
You can’t complain and you can’t grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it’ll be short tomorrow
Yeah, whatever you do today is gonna be done tomorrow

😢sad but true....every word.....

[@Essex626]

I don't think it's supposed to be a sad song.
Like, it's a song that confronts the feeling of being overwhelmed by life, for sure... but the point is that line "if you cut the grass, it'll be short tomorrow."
In other words, when life seems overwhelming, start by taking care of one thing you can get done, and know it will be done the next day. What you do today is going to determine what tomorrow feels like, so take care of things even though you're tired, and tomorrow those things will be taken care of already.
It's a song of encouragement, though not one that's all sunshine and roses. It acknowledges what's hard, and tells us we can get through it.
