Life's been good enough

May 13, 2010 23:31

I've been listening to classic rock - a lot. I love it actually. When the kids aren't in the van, I roll down the windows and crank it up. Loud. I love the looks I get when I pull up to a traffic light - crazy 30 something white chick in a mommy-mobile cranking up the classics. Awesome. Have changed my alarm clock to wake me up listening to it. Anyway, Joe Walsh, circa 1978, "Life's been good" is a goody, especially the really long musical solo in the middle.

I have a mansion but forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me its 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 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 Maseratti does one-eighty-five
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
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

[Instrumental Interlude]

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
I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far

Then there's another one "Patience" by GnR.

When it comes down to it, I think I just like the musical interludes because Hotel California by the Eagles is awesome and all three of these songs have really long breaks.

and Cream, Steve Miller Band, and ...

Either way, it's great tunes, agreed?

Agree or die.
