Life's Been Good Lyrics
I have a mansion forget the price
Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati does 185
I lost my license now I don't drive
I have a limo ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm making records my fans they can't wait
They write me letters tell me I'm great
So I got me an office gold records on the wall
Just leave a message maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody sing) I'm cool (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody sing) Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
I lost my license now I don't drive
I have a limo ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
They write me letters tell me I'm great
So I got me an office gold records on the wall
Just leave a message maybe I'll call
(Everybody sing) I'm cool (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different I haven't changed
(Everybody sing) Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far

The song is about Keith Moon.
I love this song, the music is awesome, and it has really funny lyrics.
The lyrics arent as happy as you might think, though. It basically shows the life of a regular rockstar in a different light. He hasn't changed, just everybody and everything else, according to him. So he is basically just living his life, which has been good to him.
Now in reality, we would see him as a party hard rockstar who spends his money on useless things ("I have a mansion, forget the price, I've never been there they tell me its nice.) , throws big destructive partys ("I live in hotels tear out the walls I have accountants pay for it all ", "I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door "), and basically just lives the regular rockstar life.
pretty cool song... nice guitar part also
yep, i agree this song is a good one
and who would know better then joe how to party back in the 70s ...just kicks ass
joe walsh is just an ordinary average guy, life's just been good to him so far

This man is just tellin it how it is... He's a satisfied dude, lives nicely, no drama in this man's life, just takes everything as it comes... Such a chill song.
This isn't the eagles?
