I've seen heartbreak,
I've made mistakes.
I've seen bloodshed,
I've had girls **** with my head!

I've had glazed eyes,
I've watched the skies.
I've been beat down,
I've been stuck in this here town,
forever.

For what feels like forever.

And you know what I say to all this,
it's been a good life, good life.
Slapped me on the face, a gentle kiss,
and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I've been held high,
but never glorified.
I've been treated,
like a piece of meat, yeah!

I've been shot down,
I've been around.
I've kissed feet,
and I'll never repeat this!

And you know what I say to all this,
it's been a good life, good life.
Slapped me on the face, a gentle kiss,
and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

It's been a good life, good life.
