Live The Good Life

[craig0812]

I wrote this song for Kenny Chesney. He's been a huge influence and I listen to his songs all the time. He made me start writing.

The song is about the opportunity that exists in America. I'm sure a lot of my fellow Canadians can relate to it too but I wrote it for Kenny so it's for an American audience.

Live The Good Life
Look around everywhere, this country's one of a kind
A hundred songs fill the air for every flag in the sky
you head to work down the stairs and wave to neighbours outside
you provide and you care for your family's with pride
then sit your asses in chairs when you get back at five

You're surrounded by grace and raised with God given rights
Roads in the states all lead the way to some place nice
So when the music plays go put some beer on ice
You got a million ways that you can live the good life
A million ways that you can live the good life

In the cities you know and every town in between
kids grow up and then go to get their college degrees
If they work on the coast then they can play on the beach
Surf in San Diego or sail the Florida keys
Then mom and dad make a toast because their finally free

You're surrounded by grace and raised with God given rights
Roads in the states all lead the way to some place nice
So when the music plays go put some beer on ice
You got a million ways that you can live the good life
A million ways that you can live the good life

The boon docks got rednecks sippin' on sweat tea
New York suits are buying Mercedes
Every states like a slice of paradise
With a million ways that you can live the good life
A million ways that you can live...

You're surrounded by grace and raised with God given rights
Roads in the states all lead the way to some place nice
So when the music plays go put some beer on ice
You got a million ways that you can live the good life
A million ways that you can live the good life

[BerryPatch]

Excellent little acoustic song! Great vocal sound here and the lyrics are great. Very nice patriotic track!

[Zoltan]

Well done country song with lots of solid lyrical hooks.

Works as is, but would benefit from a more full blown arrangement and additional instrumentation. Maybe even a short breather here and there.

Good stuff!
