Story behind the song
This is a song about loving life, no matter how seemingly shitty it may be. This life can eat you up, but it's the love of life itself that keeps it worth living for. Dean Martin put it best: "That's Amore!"
Lyrics
“Amore” I went to a party That sounded so hollow That I just had to go Because I could get in. Best seat on the planet Front row and center Right next to her To watch it begin. I went to our wedding We were to be married Just to bear it This godforsaken town. We lost all our credit Half way through November And if you make Daddy remember He’ll fall to the ground. One day You will find A way to color In the lines When life can eat you up – But that’s Amore! That’s amore when you Try to find Your way outside This life can eat you up – But that’s Amore! I went to my funeral And there I found Jesus I owed him a cigarette And a buck and a half. I climbed a big ladder To get into heaven But they sent me to Brooklyn ‘Cause I wasn’t that bad. So if you see them Watch over my children Because I can’t watch them Someone stole my T.V. And if you see Momma All broken and poor now Tell her to make sure They don’t turn out like me and One day You will find A way to color In the lines When life can eat you up – But that’s Amore! That’s amore when you Try to find Your way outside This life can eat you up – But that’s Amore!
