Well, it's a great life
If you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong?

--- Instrumental ---

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 maybe take a blonde along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong?

--- Instrumental ---

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 wants to be strong?
--- Instrumental ---

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?...
