Imogene she lives in reno
All alone with thirteen cats
Every night she passes the casino
Imogene don't fool with that
Imogene she drives an old camaro
But she hardly ever takes it out
If it's true God's eye is on the sparrow
She's got nothin to worry about

She says that's life - that's my life
Well I get what I need and I want what I want
And the bills roll in and the money don't
And I do what I do and I fake the rest
And somehow it all works out for the best
That's life - that's my life

Imogene she don't take chances
The girl's got a level head
Evaluate the circumstances
That's what her daddy always said
Then one night she passes the casino
Puts a quarter in the slot machine
Drops down - comes up cherries
Way to go now, imogene

Former high school football hero
Knocks on her door like the sweepstakes man
She says I'm a former high school zero
Now you want to be my friend?
You're as dumb as a day old puppy
You ain't as pretty as you used to be
Here's a quarter baby, go get lucky
Put one in the slots for me - yeah

That's life - that's your life
Well you get what you need and you want what you want
And the girls roll in but the right one don't
And you do what you do and you fake the rest
And somehow it all works out for the best
That's life - that's your life
