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
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
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
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
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
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
