It’s a Wonderful Life (Gonna Have a Good Time) Lyrics

(GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME)

The ice was freezin'
My brother almost drowned
I jumped in to save him
On his way, way down
Then it went black and I went in


Oh, what a wonderful life
The angels told me he'd get his wish
All my life was a twisted thing


We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life

You better keep on pushin'
No matter how broke you are
'Cause I'm broke down and I'm bankrupt
And you're ready to end it all

We gonna have a good time
Rockin' now to this beat

Just keep rockin' to scoop the pain
Oh, my God, here comes the pain
Angel made me numb
The angel made me void

Got thrown out of the bar
Then I wrecked my car

Got socked in the jaw
Cussed out by my mama
Someone stole my money
Screamed at by my honey
Things was gettin' worse
Things was gettin' worse
Things was gettin' worse
Things was gettin' worse

We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life

Come on y'all, let's boogie some more
My brains just hit the floor

We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
We gonna have a good life
It's a wonderful life
It's a great life
It's a wonderful life
It's a great life
It's so wonderful
It's fabulous
Oh, what a life !

Oh, what a life !
Lord, Lord, what a life
What a life, man, It's a great, great life
Oh, I can't stand it, I can't stand this life
Take me away, take me, take me
Take me now, take me home
It's a wonderful life, I'm going home
Send me, to my great, great, great, GREAT life
My wonderful, wonderful life
