Life’s Been Good (track 08 from the But Seriously, Folks… LP by Joe Walsh )
I have a mansion, but forget the price
Ain’t never been there, they tell me it’s nice
I live in hotels and tear out the walls
I have accountants that 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 Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license and now I don’t drive
I have a limo, I ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I’m attacked
I make hit records, my fans they can’t wait
They write me letters and tell me I’m great
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
I go to parties, sometimes until four
It’s hard to leave when you can’t find the door
It’s tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody is 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
