for KING & COUNTRY - Fine Fine Life Lyrics
Lyrics
Love is on a side of the highway
With his thumb in the sky
Worry's flying in the fast lane
In a suit and tie
The sun is crashing in the ocean
And you just can't help yourself but wonder how we all forget
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Every day I find
It's a fine fine life
I fell asleep in a casino
You should've seen her face
Feels like I'm stuck in a movie
That was never made
Jesus stranded with a flat tire
And He's grinning ear to ear and whispering these words under His breath
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Every day I find
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Yeah I put a step in your bones
You're never alone
Cash or coal,
Heart or soul
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Every day I find
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Every day I find
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
It's a fine fine life
Fine fine life
It's your life

Fine Fine Life
Meaning & Inspiration
"Fine Fine Life" by for KING & COUNTRY, released in 2012 on their album *Crave*, immediately invites listeners into a world of striking imagery and paradoxical observations, setting the stage for a profound message that transcends simple optimism. The opening lines present a vivid contrast: "Love is on a side of the highway / With his thumb in the sky" alongside "Worry's flying in the fast lane / In a suit and tie." This juxtaposition speaks to the often-conflicting forces at play in our lives, where genuine connection and hopeful anticipation can exist alongside the relentless pressures of anxiety and societal expectations. The image of the sun "crashing in the ocean" evokes a sense of awe and perhaps a gentle reminder of life's grand, sometimes overwhelming, beauty, prompting the question of why we so easily "forget" to appreciate these moments.
The song's central refrain, "It's a fine fine life," delivered repeatedly, isn't a dismissive platitude but rather a powerful declaration of faith and perspective. It echoes the sentiment found in Ecclesiastes 3:12-13, which states, "I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil, this is the gift of God." The lyrics delve deeper into personal experience, with a verse describing falling asleep in a casino and feeling "stuck in a movie / That was never made." This imagery suggests a life adrift, perhaps caught in circumstances that feel unreal or unfulfilled. Yet, even within these moments of perceived stagnation or disorientation, the song introduces a transformative element: "Jesus stranded with a flat tire / And He's grinning ear to ear and whispering these words under His breath." This powerful, almost surreal image reframes struggle. It presents the divine not as distant or untouched by hardship, but as present and even finding joy amidst adversity. It’s a profound visual that encourages us to look for the divine spark and enduring hope even when life's "tires" are flat, mirroring Christ's own example of finding purpose and peace in His earthly journey, even unto suffering, as described in Hebrews 12:2.
The song's subsequent lines, "Yeah I put a step in your bones / You're never alone / Cash or coal, / Heart or soul," act as a personal testament and an assurance. The "step in your bones" suggests an infusion of renewed spirit and strength, a vital energy that comes from finding one's footing. The assurance of never being alone resonates deeply with the promise of God’s constant presence, as found in Matthew 28:20: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." The contrasting "Cash or coal, / Heart or soul" further emphasizes that this "fine fine life" is not dependent on material wealth or superficial comforts, but on the depth of our inner being and our connection to something greater. It’s a call to recognize that true fulfillment lies not in fleeting earthly possessions but in the eternal value of our spirit, a concept central to biblical teachings about prioritizing heavenly treasures over earthly ones, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 6:19-21. This repeated affirmation, "It's a fine fine life," becomes an anthem of resilient joy, a chosen perspective that acknowledges life’s imperfections and challenges while firmly holding onto the enduring goodness and divine grace that makes it all worthwhile, ultimately pointing to the abundant life Christ offers, as spoken in John 10:10.
