Lyrics:

I promised you the good life and all the finer things
Fancy clothes cadillacs and lots of diamond rings
The bible tells us that the lilies
Are the best dressed of the flowers
But it's hard to dress a woman on $5.15 an hour
Playing all these songs I love
Wondering where you are
Smoking all these cigarrettes
And drinking all this beer
This is the good life
So sad you weren't here
SOLO
Now you say that you don't love me
And honey that's alright
Cause I've got lots of better things that I can do tonight
Like wondering what became of all the stars of yester year
As I watched the angels dancing in the bubbles in my beer
This is the good life singing in a bar
Playing all these songs I love
Wondering where you are
Smoking all these cigarrettes
And drinking all this beer
This is the good life
So sad you weren't here
