Saturday night, and a six pack girl
A big star shinin' on a small town world
It's a helluva life, it's a helluva life
And KC lights on a dirt road dance
You take that kiss just as far as you can
It's a helluva life, it's a helluva life

And pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and long neck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin',
To a song that's playin' on the radio station.
The bad times make the good times better,
You look in her eyes and you're gone forever,
On a heavenly ride, yeah it's a helluva life.
It's a helluva life

And we all have faith, and we all have hope,
But we're all a little lost in the same damn boat.
It's a helluva life, yeah it's a helluva life.
There's something bout the night girl,
When you got the right girl,
Sittin' right beside you,
Lookin' at the sky, girl
Thinkin' bout why we're here, and where we're goin'
Baby, here we are, and all I know is

And pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and long neck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin,
To a song that's playin', the world stops fadin'
The bad times make the good times better,
You look in her eyes and you're gone forever,
On a heavenly ride, yeah it's a helluva life.
It's a helluva life

Something bout the night girl,
When you got the right girl,
Sittin' right beside you,
Lookin' at the sky, girl
Thinkin' bout why we're here, and where we're goin'
Baby, here we are, and all I know is

Pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and long neck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin',
To a song that's playin', it's a perfect combination
The bad times make the good times better,
You look in her eyes and you're gone forever,
On a heavenly ride, yeah it's a helluva life.
It's a helluva life

(The bad times make the good times better)
Aw one helluva ride
(Look in her eyes and you're gone forever)
It's a helluva life
Yeah it's a helluva life

It's a helluva life
