Life Is Good
How long's it been? Good Lord she can't remember Seems like she's lived here all her life And she knew everything was gonna be different After her old man 'Charlie' died And when the kids butted in she was thinking: I didn't live this long to be treated like a child Then they moved her in with her son and his fiancé Where life was good…most the time
She used to paint pictures of horses Before she went blind and after Charlie passed Though she never rode a horse in her life, for whatever reason She never seemed to paint anything else There were hundreds of them, everywhere horses And I'll bet she tripped over them all the time Maybe it was just her little way to trick herself into thinking That life is good….most the time
I bought this house off of that old lady Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com After her kids decided she couldn't live on her own And you know it amazes me just how long she stayed out here It gets awful lonesome and there's no way to keep it warm And I keep myself busy by writing all my little songs But sometimes good Lord late at night The walls start closing in and it's so hard to think That life is good….most the time
The other day I found her old easel It was out in the shed and it made me kinda smile Because I remembered moving in and all of them old paintings I thought she must have been out of her mind But you know I learnt something from that old lady That even if the Lord should strike you deaf, dumb and blind So long as you're riding horses in your dreams Then life is good…..most the time.
