[Verse 1]
Wound up with a band of thieves
Making my way across town
Lost in a manner of speech
Making my way across town

[Pre-Chorus]
What about the good life
That I have been expecting for so long?
What about the good life?

[Chorus]
Hush a bye my lonesome child
Don't cha cry
Mama's gonna bring you something
Gonna get you high
Never you mind how I came here
I just knew someone was laying here
Hush a bye

[Verse 2]
So long I've carried this load
Feel like I've never been born
So long I travelled this road
Feel like I'm weary, I'm worn
[Pre-Chorus]
What about the good life
That I have been expecting for so long?
What about the good life?

[Chorus]
Hush a bye my lonesome child
Don't cha cry
Mama's gonna bring you something
Gonna get you high
Never you mind how I came here
I just knew someone was laying here
Hush a bye

[Verse 3]
So long I've carried this load
Feel like I've never been born
So long I traveled this road
Feel like I'm weary, I'm worn

[Outro]
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
What about the good times?
