Life's Been Good
Eagles · Other Songs - Eagles
Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say i'm crazy but i have a good time
(everybody say oh, yeah.....oh,yeah)
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My maserati does 185
I lost my license now i don't drive
I have a limo ride in the back
I lock the doors in case i'm attacked
I'm making records my fans they can't wait
They write me letters tell me i'm great
So i got me an office gold records on the wall
Just leave a message maybe i'll call
Lucky i'm sane after all i've been through
Everybody says i'm cool (he's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes i still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different i haven't changed
They say i'm lazy but it takes all my time
Everybody says oh yeah (oh yeah)
I keep on going guess i'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Life's Been Good
Eagles' 'Life's Been Good' stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of country-rock and soft rock, characterized by its melodic guitar work and harmonies. Released on the 1975 compilation album 'Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975', the track exemplifies the group's ability to craft anthemic songs that balance acoustic warmth with polished production. As a staple of their discography, the recording captures the optimistic yet reflective mood typical of their mid-1970s output, resonating with listeners through its accessible structure and memorable chorus. The song remains a defining piece of their catalog, often performed live and celebrated for its role in cementing the band's status as pioneers of the American rock sound.
