Life's Been Good (1986) Songtext
von Joe Walsh

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 Maserati does 185
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 make hit 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

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'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

Uh oh, here comes a flock of wah-wahs
