Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In my old 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"
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
And 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
[Verse 6]
(Oh, I know that it's the good life, I can see it with you)
Oh, I know that it's the good life
(Oh, I know that it's the good life, I can see it)
I wanna live the good
[Verse 7]
And I say, "I know I made it, the good life"
Open your eyes
Your friends, your lover, your soul, your mind
It's, it's right there, baby, all the time, it goes
[Verse 8]
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
And life takes you up and down
And life, it spins you all around
The good life, I know I made it
The good life, I know I made it with you
[Verse 9]
(Oh, I know that it's the good life, I can see it with you)
Oh, I know it's the good life
I can see it, baby
(Oh, I know that it's the good life, I can see it with you)
Oh, I know it's the good life
I wanna live the good life
(Oh, I know that it's the good life, I can see it with you)
Oh, I know it's the good life
I can see it, babe, now I've seen it, babe
(Oh, I know that it's the good life)
I wanna live the good life
