1978

[marktravis]

most people complain about the single versions but they forget this is how we heard them on the radio when they first came out.

[kenchamberlain]

this version is my favorite; because it has all the lyrics; but it does'nt bore us with the long

[renevishaarlem]

Typical musical and humorous greatness by Joe Walsh.

One of the songs from Time-Life's "Sounds of the Seventies".

I heard this version played on a classic rock radio station in Hondo, Texas called KMFR Mighty Fine Rock. It was a good station but they played a lot of radio edit versions and censored versions of classic rock favorites. But it's good to hear this version.

But it sounds better in 1.25x speed! 🎉

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say, "I'm cool, " "He's cool")
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say, "Oh yeah, " "Oh yeah")
I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Ah, yeah, yeah

So you want to be famous?? I bought this 45 too...

I thought this song said "Everybody's so different, I had to change", which is way cooler than what the acutal lyric is.
