about

A song about a fella who despite being down on his luck, still has an optimistic outlook.

lyrics

i lost his job a year ago
Now i trying to make ends meet
got behind on my mortgage
the bank wants me on the street
but i don't let it get me down
and i'll tell you the reason why
things could so much worse
so i look up to the sky

i'm living the good life
i'm not wealthy
but thank the lord i'm healthy
i got my loving children and my wife
i'm living the good life

my best friend growing up
ever since the second grade
went in for some routine tests
but they were far too late
theres nothing they could do for him
except sit around and wait
try and comfort him
until he passed away

i'm living the good life
i'm not wealthy
but thank the lord i'm healthy
i got my loving children and my wife
i'm living the good life

Seeing things from the new perspective
has taught me what really matters in this world
i know the lord is looking out for all of us
my wife, my son, and my baby girl
things are gonna be alright

I lost my job two years ago
but i wont accept defeat
no matter what may happen
Ill stay on my two feet
as long as I have faith
my children and my wife
i won't tempt fate
because i'm living the good life

i'm living the good life
i'm not wealthy
but thank the lord i'm healthy
i got my loving children and my wife
i'm living the good life
