Well since you’ve left i’ve had no place to be I’ll spend most everyday doing as i please I’ve got pockets full of money; hear a jingle when i walk Yeah it’s a good life from now on Now if i walk down the street everybody knows my name They all step aside and let me go my way They all smile and snicker and some won’t talk at all Yeah it’s a good life from now on Oh and all the fancy restaurants won’t let me wait inside They serve me out the backdoor and never ask for a dime So you tell me what i’m missing and i’ll tell you where you’re wrong Yeah it’s a good life from now on Well now i could go anywhere and live this way I could catch a first class trip on a mountain bound train Yeah ‘cause i’ve got nothing left here to keep me hanging on Yeah it’s a good life from now on Yeah it’s a good life for me from now on
