| Lyrics: | Windows rolled down in my el camino See another sleazy lawyer talkin’ on his cell phone Pass my friend Jake, drinkin. in his wheelchair Between the sprinklers and the sidewalk, he aint got a care It’s a great day, it’s a beautiful life Don’t let em getcha down this time The best days, we aint seen em yet This aint even as good as it’s gonna get The so cal sun shines like a mango sorbet All the pink flamingos dressed in black and gray Kids and old ladies stop and smile at me We live and we die and we’re caught in between It’s a wild road, it’s a crazy ride Don’t let em getcha down this time Don’t worry baby, don’t you fret This aint even as good as it’s gonna get They say its like the perfect match without a fire The say life’s a bumpy ride with no spare tire They say it’s like a firecracker on the 5th of July I say “hell no it’s a beautiful life” It’s a great day, it’s a beautiful life It’s a great day, it’s a beautiful life It’s a great day, it’s a beautiful life Don’t let em getcha you down this time When the radio plays some Tammy Wynette This ain’t even as good as it’s gonna get Written by Dave Tough & Justin Busch |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
