Lyrics

Life's Been Good

[Verse 1: 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 [Chorus: Joe Walsh] 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 [Verse 2: Joe Walsh] 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 [Verse 3: Joe Walsh] 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 [Chorus: Joe Walsh, Bill Szymczyk & Jody Boyer] 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 [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 4: Joe Walsh] 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 [Chorus: Joe Walsh, Bill Szymczyk & Jody Boyer] They say I'm lazy, but it takes all my time Everybody say, "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 [Outro] Uh oh, here comes a flock of wah-wahs (Wah-wah, wah-wah...)
