Well since you've left I've had no place to be   I'll spend most everyday doing as I please   I've got pockets full of money; hear a jingle when I walk   Yeah it's a good life from now on      Now if I walk down the street everybody knows my name   They all step aside and let me go my way   They all smile and snicker and some won't talk at all   Yeah it's a good life from now on      Oh and all the fancy restaurants won't let me wait inside   They serve me out the backdoor and never ask for a dime   So you tell me what I'm missing and I'll tell you where you're wrong   Yeah it's a good life from now on      Well now I could go anywhere and live this way   I could catch a first class trip on a mountain bound train   Yeah 'cause I've got nothing left here to keep me hanging on   Yeah it's a good life from now on   Yeah it's a good life for me from now on
