Story Behind The Song

I was lazing around the house one day and I thought to myself what a good life I have not having to work a regular job and just play music for a decent living and I want to thank my wife for that

Song Description

About how my wife and I met and got married on a cruise ship

Lyrics

I gotta a good life I want to thank my wife
cause she’s the best damn thing that ever happened to me
she pulled me from the gutter when I was down on my knees one night
I want to thank my wife I gotta good life I want to thank my wife

I met her at a cafe on the waterfront
it was just another busy day on the run
and I looked at her and she looked at me
from that day forward it was meant to be a good life
I want to thank my wife I gotta good life I want to thank my wife

She showed up again while I was downtown
playing at a bar called the Tradewinds Lounge
never before have I felt this way
so I had to stop the music and I had to say

I gotta a good life I want to thank my wife
cause she’s the best damn thing that ever happened to me
she pulled me from the gutter when I was down on my knees one night
I want to thank my wife I gotta good life I want to thank my wife

We got married just a few years ago
on a cruise ship bound towards Mexico
It was nights like that I’ll never forget
a full moon above on a big cruise ship
I gotta life I want to thank my wife
I gotta good life I want to thank my wife

We got back to this Saint Augustine town
a reception was held at the Tradewinds Lounge
all our friends were there and Nigel was a playing
all you could hear was everyone saying “Mark” you gotta good life
we want to thank your wife you gotta good life we want to thank your wife

I gotta a good life I want to thank my wife
cause she’s the best damn thing that ever happened to me
she pulled me from the gutter when I was down on my knees one night
I want to thank my wife I gotta good life I want to thank my wife
