Life Is Fine
*****************************

[V1]
Getting long in the tooth
Hell and gone from my youth
Getting tired when I know I'm not
No point remembering what I forgot (D)

[V2]
It's so easy to let things go
No reason to put on a show
No need to bleed on future days
They're bound to come and go anyway (D)

[Chorus]
Life is great
Life is fine
I won't hesitate
To take whats mine

[Post Chorus]
Gonna do what I want, now
Gonna take my time
Lay it on the line
It ain't no crime when life is fine

[V3]
The best is yet to come
The game's isn't done
My piece is moving around the board
Passing go, collecting rewards

[V4]
When the payoff hits
And it's time to split
I'll blow this joint and hit the road
There's one more place I gotta go

[Chorus]
Life is great
Life is fine
I won't hesitate
to take whats mine

[Post Chorus]
Gonna do what I want, now
Gonna take my time
Lay it on the line
It ain't no crime when Life is fine

Addendum
I paid the price
Got a little slice
Of heaven on earth
Life is fine

Amazing stuff lc, as always.

[737blues]

Well IC, I just heard it on soundclick and thought it was great.
(Mind you, I liked the 'My Dime' version too, you perfectionist you)

[Jim]

Might fine Les!

I also listened on SC, and voted HOT as well (although I wonder how much those votes actually count - voted anyway just in case it helps!)

It's my Dime was really good, Life is Fine is -- FINE!!

Most enjoyable!
Hope ya don't mind me sayin', but it's kind of got a Travelling Wilbury feel to it. That was my take on it anyway.

[CanuckTodd]

Thanks for listening you say?
Heck, thanks for posting Les!
That was most enjoyable!
Always a treat to listen to your playing and singing and songwriting.
I agree with ColdEthyl about the Wilburys feel, probably because you sound so much like Tom Petty with your natural singing voice. I could see Tom stealing that song and putting it on one of his albums. Good thing he doesn't search here for songs. Or does he?

[Rockerbob]

Nice rewrite!

[joe_strummer]

Some excellent work on this great tune Les, really fine playing and singing got a winner on this one, well done

[Lcjones]

Hey Guys,

Thanks a ton for listening!!!!!
I'm really happy with this number.

And I really appreciate the thoughts about the Wilbury's. They are my Dream Team!

Life Is Fine clocked into the Folk-Rock charts @ #18 this morning when I checked. It'll be interesting to see where this one goes. I've also sent it to my mentor in Nashville. Who knows, eh?

Thanks again for all the support!
