Awful, Beautiful Life

"Awful, Beautiful Life" is a song recorded by American country music artist Darryl Worley.

The story, told in first person, describes the events of a Sunday in a young family man's life.

That night, as the protagonist lays in bed, he reflects on his day, thankful for his blessings and summing this all up by stating how he "love[s] this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life."

People magazine noted that "the country singer exhibits an insightful awareness of life's vagaries" on the song, and designated it as the album's recommended download.
