Lyrics Life Don't Have To Mean Nothing At All - Tom T. Hall
(Tom
T.
Hall)
Now
if
you
want
to
be
happy
let
me
tell
you
how
to
do
it
You
get
up
in
the
morning
and
you
get
right
to
it
Bring
home
the
bacon
and
make
a
little
bread
You
get
a
little
sleepy
and
you
go
back
to
bed.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Well
if
everybody
says
you're
a
little
too
tall
Go
out
and
get
yourself
a
basketball
Dye
your
hair
orange
and
put
a
ring
in
your
ear
You
can
make
47
million
dollars
a
year
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all.
Now
if
everybody
says
you're
a
little
too
short
Go
out
and
get
yourself
a
big
ol'
horse
You
can
be
a
yockey
if
you
got
no
fear
You
can
make
47
million
dollars
a
year.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Be
good
to
your
sinster
and
good
to
your
brother
Be
good
to
your
papa
and
good
to
your
mother.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Now
if
you're
a
con
man
lookin'
for
a
pigeon
Go
out
and
start
a
brand
new
religion
Get
on
TV
and
make
a
money
request
They
can
all
go
to
heaven
while
you're
starving
to
death
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all.
Now
if
everybody
says
you're
a
little
too
rough
Go
out
and
get
yourself
some
boxing
gloves
Beat
up
somebody
around
the
ears
You
can
make
47
million
dollars
a
year.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Be
good
to
your
sinster
and
good
to
your
brother
You
might
even
try
to
be
good
to
one
another.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Now
if
everybody
says
you're
a
little
too
slick
Get
yourself
into
politics
Get
that
office
and
get
that
power
And
you
can
spend
47
million
dollars
an
hour
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all.
Now
if
you
can
pick
a
guitar
and
sing
through
your
nose
Get
yourself
a
bunch
of
those
cowboy
clothes
Sing
about
dying
and
shedding
them
tears
You
can
make
47
million
dollars
a
year.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all
Don't
trouble
your
mind
or
worry
your
soul
Bout
stuff
that
you
ain't
supposed
to
know.
Life
don't
have
to
mean
nothing
at
all...
