Schwa Lyrics

Deal With It

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

You can't run from your trouble
You can't hide from the truth
You can't fight getting older
You can't stay in your youth

When I was young, I hadn't a care
Drinkin' beer and chasin' women
Goin' home to smoke up in my easy chair

Daddy said I wouldn't amount to nothin'
I said that I was only havin' fun
Mama said you better settle down boy
before one of them women has a bun, in the oven, that is

You can't run from your trouble
You can't hide from the truth
You can't fight getting older
You can't stay in your youth

Then I met Annie, Willin' and wild
Seems like mama wasn't jokin'
Nine months later we was having us a child

Annie said I wouldn't amount to nothin'
I said that I was only having fun
She said you better stop that messin' around, boy
now I got to be your only one, but I didn't care

You can't run from your trouble
You can't hide from the truth
You can't fight getting older
You can't stay in your youth

My old lady up and left me, me and my son 
Workin' hard and makin' money
And I can't find me any time to have no fun

Now I'm trying hard to amount to something
Living out a life that's all too real
Sometimes I wish I had a chance to do it over
Now I've got no choice but to deal with it.

You can't run from your trouble
You can't hide from the truth
You can't fight getting older
You can't stay in your youth
