Lyrics
I have a mansion but 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 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 (Everybody say 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 say oh yeah, oh yeah) I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why Life's been good to me so far
