LYRICS:

LIFE IS A DIFFICULT TRIP
LOOK OUT FOR THE GOOD
AND THE BAD ROADS

FOR AS YOU COME AND GO
WHO IS TO KNOW
WHICH IS TO SHOW

WHEN YOU ARE FACED WITH A CHOICE
REMEMBER WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER
YOU CAN GO LEFT OR RIGHT
AT THE LIGHT OR
JUST SIT TIGHT

DEAL WITH IT
FACE LIFE TODAY
YES
DEAL WITH LIFE
DON'T RUN AWAY
FOR

WHEN YOU ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE
YOU WILL FIND LIFE IS A GRAND TRIP

YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE
WHEN YOU CARE
IF YOU DARE
LIVE!

(TRUMPET SOLO)

LIFE IS A DIFFICULT TRIP
LOOK OUT FOR THE GOOD AND
THE BAD ROADS

FOR AS YOU COME AND GO
WHO IS TO KNOW
WHICH IS TO SHOW

WHEN YOU ARE FACED WITH A CHOICE
REMEMBER WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER
YOU CAN GO LEFT OR RIGHT
AT THE LIGHT OR
JUST SIT TIGHT

DEAL WITH IT
STAND FAST AND CHOOSE
YES
DEAL WITH IT
WIN, DRAW, OR LOSE
FOR

WHEN YOU ARE HONEST AND BOLD
YOU WILL FIND LIFE IS A GRAND TRIP
ALL THINGS ARE RELATIVE:
NEGATIVE -- POSITIVE
LIVE!
