The Good Life

Bruce Robison The Good Life written by Joe Dickenson Bruce Robison vocals/guitar Chip Dolan keyboards Marty Muse steel guitar Brad Fordham bass Lisa Pankratz drums Kelly Willis background vocals BE E B I promised you the good life and all the finer things E Fancy clothes cadillacs and lots of diamond rings E The bible tells us that the lilies A Are the best dressed of the flowers B E But it's hard to dress a woman on $5.15 an hour E B This is the good life singing in a bar Playing all these songs I love E Wondering where you are E E7 Smoking all these cigarrettes A And drinking all this beer B This is the good life E So sad you weren't here SOLO E Now you say that you don't love me B And honey that's alright E Cause I've got lots of better things that I can do tonight A Like wondering what became of all the stars of yester year B E As I watched the angels dancing in the bubbles in my beer E B This is the good life singing in a bar Playing all these songs I love E Wondering where you are E E7 Smoking all these cigarrettes A And drinking all this beer B This is the good life E So sad you weren't here From Bruce Robison "Long Way Home From Anywhere" July 1999 Sony Lucky Dog Records 1999
