Intro      
 
                                          
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 the good life from now on

                                              
Now when I walk down the street everybody knows my name
                              
They all step aside and let me go my way
                                          
They all smile and snicker in subtle tones of awe
                               
Yeah it’s the 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 the good life from now on

Well now I could go anywhere and live this way
                                                                      
I could catch a first class trip on an outbound freight
                                                      
Yeah ‘cause I’ve got nothing left here to keep me hanging on
                               
Yeah it’s the good life from now on
                                          
Yeah it’s the good life for me from now on
