The Good Life
Corey Smith
Verse 1:
GSittin alD/Fone in my tEMhree bedroom hDome,
a mCadd9ile east of Dwhere I was Graised.
GStairin' out the D/Fwindow at my EMdog in the Dbackyard,
in the Cadd9pinestraw Dcovered with Gclay.
GDamn he's a D/Fmess, but we EMlove him to Ddeath,
guess he Cadd9fits in this Dfamily Gwell.
Yeah we're a Gblood line of D/Fsheperds used to EMroam in the Dpastures,
tryin' to Cadd9cope with this Dsuburban Ghell.
Chorus:
Aww, it Cadd9sure aint the Dgood life we're Glivin',
Yeah I Cadd9reckon we're Dhappy Genough.
We've done Cadd9well with the Dhands we were Ggivin',
with a little Cadd9hope and a Dwhole lotta' Glove.
Verse 2:
Dad just finished buildin', it must've cost him a killin',
that house out on Rambeler's end,
He sent my brother off to college, walkin' through the arches,
Man we're all sure proud of him.
But he never tried to spoil us kept our hands in the sawdust,
yeah we chipped in whenever we could.
We shared in the sweat and the blood and the tears,
I guess he knew it would do us some good.
(Chorus)plus:
Lord we Cadd9don't have our Dfist full of Gdollars,
and we're Cadd9no southern DaristoGcrats.
Naw, we Cadd9aint got a Dlot but we've EMearned what we Dgot,
and we couldn't Cadd9do it much Dbetter than Gthat.
(Solo)Play verse chords over lead.
Verse 3:
My wife quit her job now she's workin' full time,
takin' care of the baby and me.
And I'm playin' in the bars tryin' to pay off the debts,
Lord this half-acre didn't come cheap.
And I come draggin' in three and four in the mornin',
smellin' like tobacco and rum.
Still she wakes up to greet me cause she loves me completley,
Says she's proud of the star I've become.
(Chorus)plus:
Lord we Cadd9don't have our Dfist full of Gdollars,
and we're Cadd9no southern DaristoGcrats.
Naw, we Cadd9aint got a Dlot but we EMLove what we Dgot,
and we couldn't Cadd9do it much Dbetter than Gthat.
And I Cadd9hope ole' DSaint Peter will Ghave me,
when they Cadd9throw my Dcauffin in the Gback.
When that Cadd9herse rolls Daway I hope EMall ya'll will Dsay,
he couldn't Cadd9do it much Dbetter than Gthat,
He couldn't Cadd9do it much Dbetter than Gthat,
He couldn't Cadd9do it much Dbetter than Gthat.
