A Good Life Lyrics

So I'm stoic and straight as I'm approaching the gate

On this route, going to my new home and estate

I keep my motions apace, this peaceful zone, I'm in's great

I anticipate this location, I'm strolling to make

My ways to a cozier place, commodious space

Of late, been alone and estranged in the home I was based

And ate my complaints were at copious rates

Impatience just made the emotions all angst

Stayed in a odious state, low on my faith

So couldn't wait to just up and leave

But suddenly, I notice my weight

Feels like I'm floating with grace

In my soul and it takes me to the moment I craved

And ached for a day of normal with no omen and shakes

Just tranquil at this sobering age

And grateful, that I'm closing this phase

Was painful, like I was choked for the eight

Last years now I'm clear as they open the gate

I gaze in this house with my mouth open, agape

I see Als sitting with Bobby at tables

And Knobby and Dolly's dancing, all bodily stable

I'm able to see Loretta's in her form, festive as she pours

Becks for the rest of us, an extra cup

To just put my dome at ease

Not scared, I know I'm where I'm supposed to be

Thinking back on my last few Christmases

Spent them sat with attached tubes, stricken with

A pesky episode in the bathroom, twitching, sick

In epileptic modes, barely past noon when it hits

Least I relished in that new gift I get

From my relatives but I feel glum and helpless since

They gotta make due with some fast food dinners, missed

The bash soon with the kids, assume since conditions

Aren't certain, they get a bad snooze, fidgeting

Turning, bother nurses, trying to nap, truth is, is this

A regular part of what my life became

Minds laggy and dark, it's quite insane

How my state had been altered, but one night in May

When I fell downstairs, my health was scared

It led to my mind being just rife with strains

And I was self-aware, I felt quite estranged and

Disconnected, just feeling dubious

Missing weddings, I feel guilt, I ruined Nicks

But soon it hits, I was blessed to be right here

For 79 years, this legacy's fine, mirrored

In these grandkids, it's amplified

Don't panic or get frantic, I've landed, I'm sanctified

And feel fine, I thought I should write

In the skies me, it's Irene

I lived a good life
