Life's Been Good Songtext
von Dirty Heads

My black Impala goes 85
I lost my license, too high when I drive
I got a beach house, gold records on the wall
I′m in the water, so don't even call

Yeah, they say I′m lazy, but it takes up my time
I think it's crazy that I turned out just fine
I get in trouble, but I just make the call
My manager, he gon' take care of it all

Yeah, life′s been good to me, two bottles of booze
Got me screaming, "Happy New Year!" in the middle of June
Man, it′s been good to me, shouldn't complain
But sometimes I do ′cause it comes with the fame

They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
Life′s been good to me so far

My black Impala goes 85
I lost my license, too high when I drive
I got a beach house, gold records on the wall
I'm in the water, so don′t even call


Well, life's been good to me, manifest destiny
Life's been bad to me, but it doesn′t have to be
You need both with the comedy and tragedy
One smile, one frown, it′s a masterpiece

On islands, eyelids are off grid
Blue screens, our blue dreams to dive in
No camp, yeah, I am the top ten
Please have a seat, all my friends eat when I win

They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
Life′s been good to me so far

My black Impala goes 85
I lost my license, too high when I drive
I got a beach house, gold records on the wall
I'm in the water, so don′t even call

Life's been good to me so far
Life′s been good to me so far, yeah
Life's been good to me so far (life's been good to me so far)
Life′s been good to me so far, yeah (life′s been good to me so far)
Yeah

My black Impala goes 85 (goes 85)
I lost my license, too high when I drive (too high when I drive)
I got a beach house, gold records on the wall (gold records on the wall)
I'm in the water, so don′t even call (life's been good)


I go to parties down by the shore (life′s been good)
It's hard to leave when you can′t find the door (life's been good)
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame (life′s been good)
They say I′m different, I haven't changed
