I’m going for the good life,
I’ve got to get away,
I’m going for the good life,
Nothing can make me stay,
I’ve seen dreams of green and yellow,
I watched them burn,
I’ve watched them mellow.

And I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

I’m going for the good life,
Gonna get me out of here,
I’m going for the good life,
Oh I ain’t got no fear,
I’ve been yearning for some new learning,
I got this feeling,
That I’m no longer dreaming.

Cos I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life.

These wings can’t stop flying,
See that break in the cloud,
Has got me feeling proud,
I found a place I got to get high in,
I’m doing everything I should,
I know that this has got to be good.

Now I know that I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

Lately, I've been doing some thinking,Trying to work out what went wrong,Seems to me I’ve been putting up with you for way too long,So I'm picking up and moving on.I’m hitting the road,Out on my own,Deleting your number from my phone,Gonna learn to be happy,Just like I used to be,Before I let you bring me down,No more excuses,Or needing to prove that,I’m good enough as I am,I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.
I can't believe it took me so long,Just to see the hold you had on me,But now it’s like I can breathe,Nobody to answer to but me,And that’s how it’s meant to be,Finally doing’ this, finally free!I’m hitting the road,Out on my own,Deleting your number from my phone,Gonna learn to be happy,Just like I used to be,Before I let you bring me down,No more excuses,Or needing to prove that,I’m good enough as I am,I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

Only six years old, I already knew,How my life would be, what I was gonna do,Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,There was nothing in this world stopping me.
Fast forward to my early teens,I'd given up on the childhood dream,Sick of trying to fit in at school,Always being different and never being cool,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That I could be six years old again.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are.
Started working at the local store,A good job, but wanted so much more,Too big for a small town,But not knowing how to break down all the doors,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That things would change.
Didn't wanna meet mister right,Didn't need another reason to end up tied,Won't settle for settling down,When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,Needed to remember the time.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

I look at the sun,And I know it’s gonna be one of the days,That takes me right back to when I was young,Dreaming through the summer haze.
When nothing was scary, I could do anything.Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.
These are the days I remember,These are the days I miss,When young and free was all I had to be,And reality didn't exist.
Stuck on the train riding to work again,Life on a one-way street,My only escape is to pause and replay,Like a memory played on repeat.
When nothing was scary, I could do anything.Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.
These are the days I remember,These are the days I miss,When young and free was all I had to be,And reality didn't exist.
Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young.

Sun goes down,Dark all around,Look away, go away now,Nothing left to say now.
Doors stay closed,What was new now is old,Run away, turn away now,Nothing you can say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.
Tears fall down,Never make a sound,You can go, you can go now,Nothing you can do now.
Life goes on,Forever holding on,Another day to take away now,Nothing left to say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

I know a place just out of town,Comes to life when the sun goes down,Where everybody knows your name,And no two nights are ever the same.
There’s a band playing country blues,King of the road and blue suede shoes,Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,People don’t dance like that no more.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.
With a friend or by yourself,The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,Smoke twirling under neon lights,You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.
Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,Knocking down shots like dominoes,Leave your money on the table, double or quits,You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.
