Lyrics
Living The Good Life
On a rainy afternoon at the Rusty Nail saloon
Killing shots cause I'm feeling pretty stressed
I began to complain that the good lifes just a dream
When this guy next to me looked up and said
Hey when life gets you down don't give up hold your ground
There's a rainbow at the end of every storm
You do the best you can , let the rest hit the fan
Count your blessings hugs your kids and love your wife
Thats all you need to be Living the Good Life
I said yeah but it seems each days harder to get through
Cause the mortgage and truck are past due
In a gentle voice he said, its when things seem pretty bad
Something goods bound to happen out of the blue
So when life gets you down, don't give up hold your ground
There's a rainbow at the end of every storm
Re-living yesteryears like being stuck in second gear
So count your blessings, hug your kids and love your wife
Thats all you need to be Living the Good Life
Well I told him that I'm not so sure, and I think I need a sign
Cause I'm feeling like my prayers have been ignored
He said anytime you pray for help I'm never far behind
I'm your angel who?s here to make sure
That when life gets you down, don't give up hold your ground
There's a rainbow at the end of every storm
We're not in this world alone, so tonight when you get home
Count your blessings, hug your kids and love your wife
That's a sure sign that you're Living the Good Life
That's a sure sign that you're Living the Good Life
That's all you need to be Living the Good Life
