watchin people roll by
wonderin where they're goin
hey, what's your job
what are you knowin
drivin to the grocery store
pull my money out
passin by the liquor store
throw my money down
ain't life grand
ain't life grand
my wife's got the blues
now I've got them
gonna bring her a kiss
make those blues run
ain't life grand
ain't life grand
sun came out the other day
through those dusty clouds
and in my mind I was a child
and it felt good ! ! !
ain't life grand (x4)

Very cool... hope you be hopping right this minute... love this song... Widespread Panic believes that art education, and in particular music education, is integral to the overall education and advancement of children. Art allows for personal expression, appreciation of ideas, celebration of cultural awareness, sharing emotions, and gives purpose to life. Widespread Panic agrees with research findings that art education supports more traditional academic subjects as well as being a worthy pursuit in its own right. |

| unclehud (now 50 feet above the planet in Boston) | Posted: Feb 04, 2013 - 12:52 Yep, life's pretty grand. Especially when dancin' barefoot on the grass, smilin face to the sky, as Widespread Panic boogies at big decibels — even if all that takes place in your imagination on a grey, sub-freezing afternoon with the remnants of yesterdays' snow still on the ground. WOOOHOOO! (This is almost 20 years old!!!????) |

| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Aug 03, 2010 - 13:59 Not sure why, something about this song is reminding me of the vibe on the new Tom Petty album. I guess it would be the vocals and the pacing and the mish-mash of different styles going on. |

You have no idea how much I am glad for music that expands, educates, informs and -ENTERTAINS me all at the same time... I wish I could find a way to listen more hours of the day.... Like water on parched earth, I need to soak up more than flows my way... Nice post, Andy, I'd second that and repeat my thanks to RP for introducing me to so much new music (though my wallet isn't so thankful as I've spent scads on CDs as a direct result), and for making my working day bearable. What I really love about RP is the way that every day brings something new, such as this bunch. 7 from the pleased as punch Nottingham jury. |
