The Good Life Lyrics
I barely got to sleep last night
But don't worry, girl
I still had that dream again
The dream where I'm in a perfect world
With perfect blue skies
Where no one dies
And we spend forever living in love
Nothing could be better
Than a perfect world
With a perfect girl
We'd have so much time
Living out the good life
(Yeah, it's the good life)
From the moment my feet touched sand
To the perfect skies
Up in the tall mountains
It felt so good to roll the windows down
Drive alone until we find ourselves
And we'll go back
(Go back)
To the life you wanna lead
Then we'll go back
(Go back)
To the way things used to be
We'll find a way to make it right
We're gonna live our lives
Step by step, we'll make it as we sing
Don't ever forget
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I met great friends
I've seen great times
I've been in love
And I've seen love die
Nothing's as good
As when I close my eyes
And feel that road
That's lead me through this life
It's a good life
(Good life)
Just get me on my feet
(Good life)
But I'm living in a dream where
I'll take a chance on every breath
Like it's my last
Step by step, we'll make it as we sing
Don't ever forget
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down (x2)
I packed my bags
I was on my way home
I was 400 miles away
From being back inside of your arms
It's where I always wanted to be
Don't ever forget
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I'll catch you when you fall down
Don't ever forget
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I barely got to sleep last night
But don't worry, girl
I still had that dream again
But don't worry, girl
I still had that dream again
The dream where I'm in a perfect world
With perfect blue skies
And we spend forever living in love
Nothing could be better
Than a perfect world
With a perfect girl
We'd have so much time
Living out the good life
(Yeah, it's the good life)
To the perfect skies
Up in the tall mountains
It felt so good to roll the windows down
Drive alone until we find ourselves
And we'll go back
(Go back)
To the life you wanna lead
Then we'll go back
(Go back)
To the way things used to be
We're gonna live our lives
Step by step, we'll make it as we sing
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I've seen great times
I've been in love
And I've seen love die
As when I close my eyes
And feel that road
That's lead me through this life
It's a good life
(Good life)
Just get me on my feet
(Good life)
But I'm living in a dream where
Like it's my last
Step by step, we'll make it as we sing
All the sleepless nights

To catch you when you fall down
I'll catch you when you fall down
All the sleepless nights
We stayed up late
Until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get
I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
But don't worry, girl
I still had that dream again

awesome song :))
so sad. like... shane is such a great writer. this is hands down one of my favorite songs.
ridiculously sad song. i dont know how shane can write/sing these without breaking down he is truly such a great and strong person. i admire him a lot...
This has to do with Shane's girlfriend who died in an accident while they were on tour, correct? I only just found this out and I never had any idea.
yea correct, the whole 'I packed my bags I was on my way home I was 400 miles away From being back inside of your arms It's where I always wanted to be' pretty much explains what you said cuz he was 400 miles away from where she was when she died. and all he wanted was to be back inside of her arms (be with her)
