Chorus 
 
 
Grandpa died back in '85 
Now they won't let Grandma drive 
Bankers took everything he made 
He lost his fingers to a Bush Hog blade 
But he led a good life (he told me so) 
Yeah, he led a good life 
 
I've had about enough of you 
Tryin to tell us what to do 
We're gonna do just what we please 
Sell it all to the Japanese 
So we can lead a good life 
So we can lead a good life
