The Henrys - A Good Life Lyrics

When I left my home I cried
I was all torn up inside
I thought I'd make a move
Just to self-improve
Or at least give that cause a try
I'd been in tougher spots than this
Run with rougher lots I still miss
But then you picked me up
Off that pickup truck
A call I couldn't resist
You don't need to hurt my pride
So I don't have to sink inside
We don't like those old school rules
So we don't follow
We just play the cards we're dealt
It's the best I think I've felt
The way we try to live
Taking less than we give
Like some kinda Roosevelt
So point me towards the sun
I'll insult you just for fun
Or push me at those waves
In the suit you gave
I'll try to swim and be brave
There are better spots for sure
On nicer lots to be poor
But it's a good life, right?
If we try not to fight
Just be happy all day and all night
You don't want to be denied
Cause we can do this side by side
We don't need their crazy games
So we don't play them
Now I send some mail back home
Or I call them on the phone
I tell them life's not bad
They don't need to feel sad
When it's the best kind of
Living I've had

When I left my home I cried
I was all torn up inside
I thought I'd make a move
Just to self-improve
Or at least give that cause a try
I'd been in tougher spots than this
Run with rougher lots I still miss
But then you picked me up
Off that pickup truck
A call I couldn't resist
You don't need to hurt my pride
So I don't have to sink inside
We don't like those old school rules
So we don't follow
We just play the cards we're dealt
It's the best I think I've felt
The way we try to live
Taking less than we give
Like some kinda Roosevelt
So point me towards the sun
I'll insult you just for fun
Or push me at those waves
In the suit you gave
I'll try to swim and be brave
There are better spots for sure
On nicer lots to be poor
But it's a good life, right?
If we try not to fight
Just be happy all day and all night
You don't want to be denied
Cause we can do this side by side
We don't need their crazy games
So we don't play them
Now I send some mail back home
Or I call them on the phone
I tell them life's not bad
They don't need to feel sad
When it's the best kind of
Living I've had
