Well, I can't prove 'em wrong
But I can prove me right
I can love myself and I can love my wife / and see my name in lights
And with all these words that I write down some nights
I tell myself honestly
I live the good life
Cruising in the blackest car / tinted windows up
Beats sleeping on a bench while waiting for a bus
With a ticket in my hand to show the Rent a Cop
Five bucks in change a day bought me the needle drop
Dropping on a song I sang passionately
While I dreamed a dream for spite and dreamed hungry
Aching for more than food on two slices a day
But I ain't did it for myself / that was the sucker's way
It seems like someone else
Lived those angry years
Alienating anyone at all / wrenching gears
Breaking down machines I built for me to succeed
And in the rubble I crawled out of I found new philosophy
Lived like a monk for a time
Saw Japan, Notre Dame
But I got lonely in the city lights / my metabolism slowed down
I don't sleep so good on floors and sofas no more
My poor back carried crosses too big for a Lord
In the currency of favors we lived on in our twenties
Carrying fold outs up walk ups and breaking our knees
I knew things were looking up when I crashed with friends
Who suddenly had guest rooms and cut themselves off at ten
No more punch ups in alleys / less pissing in the street
Bitter pills now antacid / forgiveness could be sweet
If only we could all move forward but we're not all here you see
And the ones made it out grieve an eternity
Because our memories are stronger that the timeline fizzling
Fading out dates and anthems we danced to in the big ideas of youth
All the myth making / we indulged in our own legend
It's interesting
Then attended tenth reunions still wondering
When we'll grow up and feel capable of responsibility
Then it just comes / someone gives you the ring
Happy ending such as it is and can be
Take a breath
Well I can't prove them wrong but I can prove me right
I can love myself and I can love my wife and see my name in lights
And with all these words that I write down sometimes I tell myself honestly
I earned a good life
And honestly I live the good life
