[Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight drive, city lights blur by Memories playing in the rearview of my mind Highs and lows like a rough Sea I took the hits, I found my way [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve screamed down hills Felt the climb, the thrill Held on tight through every turn One thing I’ve learned— [Chorus] Life’s been good, I can’t complain Had my share of joy and pain Like a rollercoaster skyward bound Hands in the air, I won’t come down Every scar and every smile Made the ride so worthwhile Life’s been good—yeah, life’s been good [Drop / Instrumental] (Keep your hands inside the car… enjoy the ride…) (Ooh-ooh, life’s been good…) [country harmonica solo] [Verse 2] Met some angels, danced with fire Lost some time to old desires But I always found a spark Even stumbling in the dark [electric guitar solo] [Pre-Chorus] There were nights I thought I’d break But I bent, I didn’t fade Now I look back with a grin I’d ride it all again [country harmonica solo] ooooo [Chorus] Life’s been good, I can’t complain Had my share of joy and pain Like a rollercoaster skyward bound Hands in the air, I won’t come down Every scar and every smile Made the ride so worthwhile Life’s been good—yeah, life’s been good [musical interlude ] [Drop] [Bridge] One day the music fades The ride will slow, the lights will change But not today, I’m still alive Heart still beats to the rhythm of the high [Drum fills] ooooo [Final Chorus] Life’s been good, I won’t forget Every dream, every regret Held on tight, I rode the storm Felt the cold and chased the warm If this is it, then let it be ‘Cause every drop was wild and free Life’s been good—yeah, life’s been good mmmm mmm mmm [Outro – Spoken / Vocal sample idea] “Keep your hands inside the car… the ride’s not over yet.” [country ending]
