(GIVE ME A PIECE OF) THE GOOD LIFE

Well everybody let me say

This ain’t no way for a man to live

Working my fingers right to the bone

Gave all I have nothing left to give

Give me a piece of the good life

Give me a piece of the pie

Give me a piece of what’s rightfully mine

And I won’t bother you no more

Oh, I won’t bother you no more

My brother died in the war

Chasing down a pot of gold

I’m on a road crew in Georgia

Trying to feed my family back home

Give me a piece of the good life

Give me a piece of the pie

Give me a piece of what’s rightfully mine

And I won’t bother you no more

Oh, I won’t bother you no more

Everybody let me say

Well, I’m not schooled in the ways of this world

But I know that a man

Should reap the harvest of his work

Give me a piece of the good life

Give me a piece of the pie

Give me a piece of what’s rightfully mine

And I won’t bother you no more

Oh, I won’t bother you no more

No, I won’t bother you no more

I won’t bother you
