"HIT OF THE GOOD LIFE"

I drove a limo for a maniacal man

Make a little bread was the general plan

'Where ya' heading?" was the question I most asked.

When someone asked me back that day was my last.

I drove to Vegas met an old woman there.

Her eyes were wild she had perfect hair.

She cried, "Unhook me from this laughing machine".

"Gotta tell my grandkids that I lost everything"

I told myself I'd meet a good honest man

But the closer I got the deeper I swam.

Tried to get in on the deal of all time

Wound up selling pencils to the weak & the blind.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Lookin' for that good life.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Just give me some; good life.

Worked a convenience store in the middle of town

Used to practice hard trying hard not to frown

"Can I help you?" was the question I asked most.

When someone asked it back I was gone like a ghost.

I had a dream about a desperate woman.

It didn't register it was all in her hands.

She hopped a freight train for foreign soil,

Met a man there who was beautiful yet loyal.

You pick a number then you pray that you win.

You pick a future that you'd like to live in.

You keep 'em in a drawer in the corner of your room.

Just another thing you'll get around too soon.

I need a hit of the good life, baby

Lookin' for that good life

I need a hit of the good life, baby

Just give me some; good life.

I used to be Daddy's little girl; now I'm the movie of the week.

I could have inherited the earth; but I settled for a piece.

I used to sing in the choir of the newly reborn.

Now I'm sweating in this cold tomb, silent & torn.

You pick a number then you pray that you win

You pick a future that you'd like to live in.

You keep it in a drawer in the corner of your womb.

One is your hope the other your ruin.

I drove a limo for a manical man

"Make a little bread" was the generals' command.

"Where ya' headed?" was the question I most asked.

When someone asked me back that day was my last.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Lookin' for that good good life.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Lookin' for that good good life.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Lookin' for that good good life.

I need a hit of the good life, baby.

Just give me some; Good life!
