about

I was spending the last few days in my S.E. Portland apartment. I was having a pretty tough time - my wife had left me and had gone back to France. The lights, in fact, were going to be shut off the next day - and there's Billy Triplett (pictured), sitting on my couch singing; "...I live a good life...I live a good life...oh by the way, did I tell you today, I live a good life..." - I wrote the verses in about ten minutes. Too bad the songwriting team of Amundson/Triplett, once so promising, would also end in divorce.

lyrics

I Live A Good Life

One that love I love don’t love me at all
She just want a man who’s dark and tall
I make the same mistake every now and again
I haven’t had a clue since I don’t know when
But I live a good life
Yeah I live a good life
My judgment aint so hot
But like it or not
I live a good life

IRS is knockin’ at my door
Gave ‘em all my money couple years before
The postman confirms what I already knew
The lights shut off tomorrow and the rent’s past due
But I live a good life
Yeah I live a good life
When all’s said and done
I’m the one having fun
I live a good life

Yeah I live a good life
You know I live a good life
I live a good life
I live a good life
Oh by the way have I told you today
I live a good life

People they admire the things that I have done
They make a point to tell me that I’m the lucky one
If one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
Sure got a lot to be thankful for
‘cause I live a good life
Yeah I live a good life
My judgment aint so hot
But like it or not
I live a good life
