A Good Life

Intro
I wanted more, From life
I didn’t get to do, everything, i wanted
Cuz I wanted more, from life
I always thought there’d be more time

V1
I overcame, my childhood burdens
I learned to, take care of myself
One step at a time, I improvised, Improved my life, My circumstance
Moved to Hollywood, the land of dreams
Made my way, all the way, to Beverly Hills
Swimming pools, movie stars

PRE

V2
I desired, the finer things in life,
I worked hard, so I could fit in
One event at a time, I connected, saved my money, got fancy clothes
Met movie stars, the rich and famous
Before you know it, I hobnobbing
Beach parties, private clubs

PRE

Chorus
Oh so grateful for a good life
Wasn’t always easy, this life
Oh so grateful for a good life
Wasn’t always easy, this life

V3
Later in life, I found true love
4th of July, sucking on toes
Hawaii life, became your wife
Our love story, so real, so true
Met all your friends, over all night dinners
Now I’m a valley girl, with 9 step kids
Movie nights, Cadillac margaritas

Bridge
Our story, ended way to soon,
So grateful, life with you

Chorus out 

Lyrics: Vicki Langford.  Guitar: Marty Simon.  Drums:  Zev Stein. 

This audio file is from a recording i did using bandlab with just the guitar track and then my vocal.  At the time the band practices stopped, I hadn't written lyrics for this piece.  This piece ended up being very special as it became a tribute to my sister, Jeannie Larson, who passed in Nov 2023.  I got the bulk of the song done in Sep 2023 and my sister was able to hear that.  I finished this the night before and the morning of her burial in Jan 2024.  This was played at her service.  #love
