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 coolHe'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, yeahOH,YEAH)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far (yeah,yeah,yeah)
