Joe Coffee The Good Life (I've Seen It) Lyrics

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF I’M EVER GONNA BE THE MAN
WHO MAKES DECISIONS THAT AIN’T SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND
BOUNCING ‘ROUND LIKE A BUM, GOIN’ FROM TOWN TO TOWN
MY STUPID HEART THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO WANT
TO DRAG ME ‘ROUND
I’VE HAD LOVE THAT I’VE LOST
I’VE HAD LOVE THAT HAS LIED
I’VE HAD LOVE LEAVE ME IN THE COLD WHERE I WISHED
THAT I HAD DIED
I PLEDGED TO EYES OF BROWN I PLEDGED TO EYES OF BLUE
THEY BOTH PROMISED ME A TRUTH
THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PROVE UNTRUE

I’D SEEN THE GOOD LIFE IN THE WINDOW
IN THE WINDOW OF A HOUSE THAT I DON’T THINK
THAT I’LL EVER CALL MY HOME

PLAYED MYSELF THE FOOL I PLAYED MYSELF THE PROUD I PLAYED IN MANY YARDS WHERE I AINT SUPPOSED TO BE
ALLOWED
BUT I WAS NEVER ASKED TO PLAY IN ANY OF YOUR REINDEER
GAMES
THIS TIME I’M KEEPING A LIST I’M WRITING DOWN ALL YOUR
NAMES
YOU INVITE ME TO THE PARTY AND THEN STICK ME AT THE
DOOR
YOU LIKE TO START ALL THE TROUBLE
THEN SEND ME MARCHING OFF TO WAR
I’VE SEEN THE STARS BURN OUT UP IN A WHITE NIGHT SKY

I TRY TO WARN MY FRIENDS
BUT THEY ONLY SEEM TO WANT TO DIE

I’D SEEN THE GOOD LIFE IN THE WINDOW…
I TRIED KNOCKING ON THE DOOR I CAN’T FIND THE KEY
BUT, THERE AINT NOBODY HOME
