The Good Life Lyrics by Erik Dylan

Heart of a Flatland Boy

0

[Verse 1]
I go to work, 6AM, like every day since I've been outta high school I was so cool, never went to college but I ain't no damn fool
Played football, all-state, then Mary Ann got a little too late
I bought a ring, pawn shop diamond, Daddy was pissed, her mama was cryin'
[Chorus]
Guys like me, run a hundred and fifty percent
Guys like me, would rather wreck it than make a dent
Guys like me, will keep searchin' for that truth
Yeah we sip a little 90 proof, like we got nothin' left to lose
But we do, and that's how you get by when the good life's killin' you
[Verse 2]
I'm a Tee-ball coach and I'm a good dad, couple bad dreams from Iraq
I clock in, I clock out, and I try to make a livin' in a three year drought
I go to church in a new used Ford, bow my head and thank the Lord
For three day jeans and lowball cards, 'cause life ain't livin' if it ain't hard
[Chorus]
Guys like me, run a hundred and fifty percent
Guys like me, would rather wreck it than make a dent
Guys like me, will keep searchin' for that truth
Yeah we sip a little 90 proof, like we got nothin' left to lose
But we do, and that's how you get by when the good life's killin' you
[Verse 3]
Killin' you, fillin' you with bad news
But you do what you gotta do
Like your daddy did
And his dad for his kid
[Bridge]
Guys like me, yeah you know we're gonna make the rent
Guys like me, we're gonna break before we bend
[Chorus]
Guys like me, run a hundred and fifty percent
Guys like me, would rather wreck it than make a dent
Guys like me, will keep searchin' for that truth
Yeah we sip a little 90 proof, like we got nothin' left to lose
But we do, and that's how you get by when the good life's killin' you
