The Good Life

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'

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

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

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

Killin' you, fillin' you with bad news

But you do what you gotta do

Like your daddy did

And his dad for his kid

Guys like me, yeah you know we're gonna make the rent

Guys like me, we're gonna break before we bend

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
