The Good Life - Bruce Robison

I promised you the good life and all the finer things

Fancy clothes cadillacs and lots of diamond rings

The bible tells us that the lilies

Are the best dressed of the flowers

But it’s hard to dress a woman on $ 5.15 an hour

Playing all these songs I love

Wondering where you are

Smoking all these cigarrettes

And drinking all this beer

This is the good life

So sad you weren’t here

Now you say that you don’t love me

And honey that’s alright

Cause I’ve got lots of better things that I can do tonight

Like wondering what became of all the stars of yester year

As I watched the angels dancing in the bubbles in my beer

This is the good life singing in a bar

Playing all these songs I love

Wondering where you are

Smoking all these cigarrettes

And drinking all this beer

This is the good life

So sad you weren’t here
