The Good Life

When the world feels like a souvenir hanging on a chain around the devil’s neck,
And a glance into the nighttime sky just leaves you feeling like a speck,
When there’s so much to do that nothing ever seems to get done,
And you can’t remember the last time you simply had some fun.
Take the time to relax and unwind,
Don’t get lost in what you can’t find,
The good life is a state of mind.
When it was much too much; much to long ago,
And your thoughts are such a battlefield you can only guess at what you used to
know,
When the traffic pushes you this way and your nerves are pulling you that,
And you feel like the rat races first place rat.
Don’t agonize your daily grind,
Think about your baby’s behind,
The good life is a state of mind.
It’s never easy but it’s worth more than you’ll ever pay,
Just say goodbye and you’ll be on your way.
