"Not Bad" lyrics

Dolly Parton & Family & Shelley Rena Lyrics

"Not Bad"

I used to read about it
In movie magazines
People drinking champagne
And riding limousines
Shopping at the finest stores
Fancy restaurants
Diamond rings and everything
That one could ever want

"Not bad,"
I used to say to myself, not bad
They've done alright for themselves

Living high and being free
In the land of opportunity

Not bad
Not bad

I used to think how lucky
Those people really were
Back when I was just a kid
And people still wore fur

I used to fantasize
That I could even be a star
With money, clothes
A penthouse suite
And my own fancy car

Not bad
Not bad

Hey. Look at me. I made it

Not bad
Not bad

I got my own pink Mercedes
A poor little country girl like me
Enjoying such prosperity

Not bad
Not bad

Ooh. Not bad
No. It ain't bad, it ain't bad, it ain't bad

Sometimes I look around me
I can't believe it's true
To think of where I came from
And where I've gotten to

Not bad
It ain't bad, it ain't bad
From rags to riches
Not bad, bad
Got a little money in my britches

To do the things you want to do
And it's good to know dreams do come true

Not bad
It ain't bad

Not bad
Not bad
If I do say so myself

Not bad
Not bad
I got a couple trophies on my shelf
Not bad
Not bad

Well, I'm rolling in sweet clover
Not bad, not bad, well my cup runneth over

Living high and being free
In the land of opportunity

Not bad
It ain't bad

To do the things you wanna do
And it's good to know dreams do come true

They do
Not bad
