🔥 About the Song
Welcome to Duct Tape Can’t Fix Everything — a toe-tapping, gritty country track from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about humor, truth, and life’s messy moments. Whether you’re kicking back at the bar, fixing a truck, or just laughing at life, it’s a reminder that some things just can’t be patched up with tape.
🕊️ “For the Lord gives wisdom; out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.” – Proverbs 2:6
💬 Behind the Song
I wrote this one while listening to Jim Rohn, who inspired the line, “You can’t fix stupid, ugly, and broke.” It’s a little grit, a whole lotta grace, and the kind of down-home joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” – Philippians 4:4
Let this truth ride with you: laughter, joy, and music are gifts from the Lord that lift us higher than any horse ever could.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Down at Joe's bar on a Friday night,
Billy's got a plan, thinks he’s real bright.
Got his chewin' gum and a roll of duct tape,
But you can't fix a life that’s taken a shape.
[Verse 2]
Sally's got dreams bigger than the sky,
But she's stuck with Jimmy, that no good lie.
Slapped some tape on his beat-up truck,
But no miracle gonna turn their luck.
[Chorus]
You can patch up a hole in a broken-down shed,
Cover up the scratch on a rusty ol’ bed.
But you can't fix stupid, ugly, and broke,
And no amount of tape can fix that joke.
[Verse 3]
Tommy spent his last dime on a roll for his jeans,
Thinkin' he might patch up all his dreams.
But holes in your heart and holes in your mind,
Ain't no fix for stuff life leaves behind.
[Verse 4]
Lena tried to mend her beat-up shoes,
Hopped a train thinking she'd lose the blues.
But each step she took, the tape came apart,
'Cause it don’t hold up to a broken heart.
[Chorus]
You can patch up a hole in a broken-down shed,
Cover up the scratch on a rusty ol’ bed.
But you can't fix stupid, ugly, and broke,
And no amount of tape can fix that joke.
