lyrics

The Good Life

Remember then when I asked to meet,
So many years ago,
Dressed to the nines, with my suit so neat,
Just wanted you to know,
I’m sorry that I hate your friends,
But there was nothing more I could say,
Standing, waiting, for you to show,
I was ready to get down and pray,

Where your friends now? Whatever happened to your Good Life?
Did you take a vow? Whatever happened to your Good Life?

Well I’m doing well myself,
I dragged myself up from bended knees,
and moved onto something else,
you know that I still think about you

And what could have been, whatever happened to your Good Life?
I can still feel your skin, whatever happened to your Good Life?

I got photos of us in pure bliss,
I spread them out, every now and then,
We look so young, but it no longer matters,
I may shed a tear, but then again…

You could say it was all on me,
How I would never jump,
I held the one-eyed jacks in my hand,
But you always held the trump
Don’t look way back into the past
As life is full of regrets,
The love it fades, but the feelings last,
I lost when I placed my bets

Where your friends now? Whatever happened to your Good Life?
Did you take a vow? Whatever happened to your Good Life?

I’m always dealt the one-eyed jacks,
He stares at me, through the cracks,
I’m always dealt the one-eyed jacks,
I saw your friends when they turned their backs

Where your friends now? Whatever happened to your Good Life?
Did you take a vow? Whatever happened to your Good Life?
And what could have been, whatever happened to your Good Life?
I can still feel your skin, whatever happened to your Good Life?

One-eyed jacks are the only thing,
I have to remind me of you

about

The Hoovers Petaluma, California

Bill and Paul met at 17 years of age when Bill answered an ad in Melody Maker for a lead guitarist. It was love at first sight and now after too many years to mention they find themselves thousands of miles from their homeland, still writing and performing songs with the same enthusiasm and energy as ever. Unique observers of everyday life and emotions with an irreverent nod to authority. ... more
