Lyrics

You've got a lotta detail in your life of late you find
Hey now that you got kids well things loom larger in your mind
You make your best decisions in the time that you're allowed
And still get caught at christmas in that final countdown crowd

It's always problems everywhere
You're jugglin' every one
You do your best each day but
When the sun goes down it's done, it's done
And then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
Don't let it keep you up nights
When you know my friend
You cannot win 'em all

Exterminator, lawyer, doctor, daycare, dental bill
Hey, now that you're essential, have you made yourself a will?
You gotta have insurance just to drive your car to work
And wind up down in court with some bad actor, neckbrace jerk

It's always problems everywhere
You're jugglin' every one
You do your best each day but
When the sun goes down it's done, it's done
And then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
Don't let it keep you up nights
When you know my friend
You cannot win 'em all, oh no

Can't no one stop that airport, that they're building over there?
Those planes won't hardly clear your trees, and noise will fill the air
So set your sights on silent nights and greener pastures still
So much for your retirement dreams on "oakview plesent hill"

It's always problems everywhere
You're jugglin' every one
You do your best each day but
When the sun goes down it's done, it's done
And then, what slips through the cracks is just gonna go ahead and fall
Don't let it keep you up nights
When you know my friend
You cannot win 'em all, oh no, oh no
