"Life's Been Good" lyrics

"Life's Been Good"
(originally by Joe Walsh)
(Live Version (Santa Monica, July 29, 1980))


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, yes I do
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 and watch the war in Iraq

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me Glenn's 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 says, "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
(Come in)
Tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so damn different, we haven't changed

Oh, and sometimes I still cry
Everybody say, "Oh, yeah, yeah" (Oh, yeah)
Oh yeah
I keep on goin', guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wow, wow
Ah, ah

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
