Well I don't guess I'll ever make a
million I just want enough to get by
Like a checking the town in two or three
banks and a yellow Cadillac to drive
To go sportin' around with two or three
red-heads or or maybe take a blond along
It's a great life if you don't weaken but
Just give me my money and cold hard
pension give my guitar in tune
And get me a date with a pretty little thing
and I'll be markin' afternoon
No want more than anybody else just
takes more for me to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who want
It's a simple thing in life that really
matter and I'm a pretty simple guy
Just give me a house a swimming
pool and a little sport plane to fly
It don't take much to satisfy me I'm
a country boy tryin' to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
but who wants to be strong
