Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
She's got deep brown eyes

That've seen it all

Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue

The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Loney Tunes"
She went down on almost anyone


From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray
She said:


[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way


Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home


His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends

But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

From the hard time living to the sleepless nights

And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say:


[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend

You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again

You've got heart and you go in your own way

[Bridge]

On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price

To have no regrets and be done with my life

[Chorus]

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

[repeat]
