A Good Life Lyrics

When I left my home I cried

I was all torn up inside

I thought I'd make a move

Just to self-improve

Or at least give that cause a try

I'd been in tougher spots than this

Run with rougher lots I still miss

But then you picked me up

Off that pickup truck

A call I couldn't resist

You don't need to hurt my pride

So I don't have to sink inside

We don't like those old school rules

So we don't follow

We just play the cards we're dealt

It's the best I think I've felt

The way we try to live

Taking less than we give

Like some kinda Roosevelt

So point me towards the sun

I'll insult you just for fun

Or push me at those waves

In the suit you gave

I'll try to swim and be brave

There are better spots for sure

On nicer lots to be poor

But it's a good life, right?

If we try not to fight

Just be happy all day and all night

You don't want to be denied

Cause we can do this side by side

We don't need their crazy games

So we don't play them

Now I send some mail back home

Or I call them on the phone

I tell them life's not bad

They don't need to feel sad

When it's the best kind of

Living I've had
