editWorley co-wrote "Sounds Like Life to Me" with Wynn Varble (who has also written several of Worley's other singles) and Phil O'Donnell.[1]In the song's first verse, the male narrator receives a call from a friend's wife, who says that her husband "fell off the wagon" and has begun drinking excessively to escape his problems. The narrator then meets his friend at the bar and ask the friend what is wrong. After the friend lists off his problems, the narrator responds, "sounds like life to me", convincing the friend to "suck it up" and face his problems. When the friend reveals that his fourth child could be on the way, the narrator buys him a drink and makes a toast.
