Life's Little Ups And Downs(Live In Minneapolis, MN / 2000) - The Jayhawks

I don't know how to tell her

I didn't get that raise in pay today

And I know how much she wanted

That dress in baker's window

And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait

And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate

I can count on her to take it with a smile

And not a frown

She knows that

Life has it's little ups and downs

Like ponies on a merry-go-round

And no one grabs the brass ring every time

But she don't mind

She wears a gold ring on her finger

That it's mine

The new houseplans we've had so long

I guess will gather dust another year

And the daffodils are bloomin

That she planted way last fall upon the hill

Over by the gate

Lord knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait

But you can bet that she'll just take it with a smile

And not a frown

She knows that

Life has it's little ups and downs

Like ponies on a merry-go-round

And no one grabs the brass ring every time

But she don't mind

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And I'm so glad that it's mine

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And I'm so glad that it's mine

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And I'm so glad that it's mine

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And I'm so glad that it's mine
