Title: Life's Been Good



I have a mansion, forget the price.

Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice.

I live in hotels, tear out the walls.

I have accountants pay for it all.

They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time.

I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime.

Life's been good to me so far.

My Masarati does one-eighty-five.

I lost my license, now I don't drive.

I have a limo, ride in the back.

I lock the doors in case I'm attacked.

I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait.

They write me letters, tell me I'm great.

So I got me an office, gold records on the wall.

Just leave a message, maybe I'll call.

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through.

(Everybody say I'm cool......He's cool)

I can't complain but sometimes I still do.

Life's been good to me so far

(One really fantastic guitar solo that radio idiots too often cut up)

I go to parties, sometimes until 4.

I'ts hard to leave when you can't find the door.

It's tought to handle this fortune and fame.

Everybody's so different, I haven't changed.

They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time

(Everybody say oh, yeah.....OH,YEAH)

I keep on going guess I'll never know why.

Life's been good to me so far. (yeah,yeah,yeah)

[Really long fade with much more than the rdio allows also]
