Brock Zeman - Life Is Good Lyrics
Seems like she's lived here all her lifeAnd she knew everything was gonna be differentAfter her old man "Charlie" diedAnd when the kids butted in she was thinking:I didn't live this long to be treated like a childThen they moved her in with her son and his fiancéWhere life was good…most the timeShe used to paint pictures of horsesBefore she went blind and after Charlie passedThough she never rode a horse in her life, for whatever reasonShe never seemed to paint anything elseThere were hundreds of them, everywhere horsesAnd I'll bet she tripped over them all the timeMaybe it was just her little way to trick herself into thinkingThat life is good….most the timeI bought this house off of that old ladyAfter her kids decided she couldn't live on her ownAnd you know it amazes me just how long she stayed out hereIt gets awful lonesome and there's no way to keep it warmAnd I keep myself busy by writing all my little songsBut sometimes good Lord late at nightThe walls start closing in and it's so hard to thinkThat life is good….most the timeThe other day I found her old easelIt was out in the shed and it made me kinda smileBecause I remembered moving in and all of them old paintingsI thought she must have been out of her mindBut you know I learnt something from that old ladyThat even if the Lord should strike you deaf, dumb and blindSo long as you're riding horses in your dreamsThen life is good…..most the time.
