The Good Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my old town
There is no street with my name

No crown, I am no king
And the kids they don't all know my name
It's like nothing has changed

[Hook]
Life takes you up and down
And life spins you all around
The good life
I know I made it
The good life
I know I made it with you

[Verse 2]
In my own town
My friends are saying
What happened to you
We thought you'd make it
And you'd be driving Bentleys
And living the good life for us all

My father says
When will you make it

My mother says
You'll learn to fake it

But I'm not you and you're not me
But I'm as good as I can be, baby
[Hook]
Life takes you up and down
And life spins you all around
The good life
I know I made it
The good life
I know I made it with you
Life takes you up and down
And life spins you all around
The good life
I know I made it
The good life
I know I made it with you

Oh I know that it’s the good life
I can see it in your eyes
Oh I know that it’s the good life
I can see it in your eyes

And I say
I know I made it
The good life
Open your eyes
Your friends, your lover
Your soul, your mind

It's right there baby all the time
[Hook]
Life takes you up and down
And life spins you all around
The good life
I know I made it
The good life
I know I made it with you
Life takes you up and down
And life spins you all around
The good life
I know I made it
The good life
I know I made it with you

Oh I know that
It's the good life
I can see it baby

Oh I know that
I
It's the good life
I wanna live the good life

Oh I know that
It's the good life
I can see it babe
Now I see it babe
Oh I know that
It's the good life
I wanna live the good life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
