about

*** I will donate any net proceeds from any downloads of this song on Bandcamp for one year to McDougall Recovery House. ***

When I was in my early 20s life could have gone either way. I was living a dysfunctional life and not one that was sustainable for long term. I really wanted out and with a bit of help from the universe, and a lot of reading and learning new life strategies, I turned it around. Enjoy my story!

lyrics

Dreamin' Bout the Good Life

Way down south in a broke-down house
Complete with a leaky ceiling
I used to party all night then watch the sun rise
An’ wake up with a groggy feeling

Time went by in the blink of an eye
I was searching for a brand new meaning
Wanted to turn that house into a beautiful home
And change the way I was feeling

Staring at the rich and famous, why can’t I be in their boat
Thinking bout mansions, fast cars, fashion, where’s my luxury coat

Dreaming about the good life, gonna make it grand
learning all the mind games, for my journey and my plan
I told myself I got this, yea it was as good as mine
My future had a roadmap, all I had to do was put the car in drive
Dreaming bout the good life
Dreaming bout the good life

Bought a samsonite, just to do it right
Studied all the rich guys’ reading
Built a business tall just to watch it all fall
But I knew where my path was leading

Friends with some rich and famous, invited me for drinks on their boats
Visiting the mansions, in my sports cars, oh and I bought my luxury coat

Dreaming about the good life, gonna make it grand
learning all the mind games, for my journey and my plan
I told myself I got this, yea it was as good as mine
My future had a roadmap, all I had to do was put the car in drive
Dreaming bout the good life, whistle or musical hook
Dreaming bout the good life

Still Loving the journey and keeping my soul
I’m making the money while caring for the world I’m still

Dreaming about the good life, gotta keep it grand
Playing all the mind games, for my journey and my plan
I know myself I got this, yea it’s as good as mine
My future has a roadmap, all I have to do is keep the car in drive
Dreaming bout the good life
Dreaming bout the good life

Gail T as Charged Edmonton, Alberta

I'm in the process of reinventing myself as a songwriter and musician.

After a quarter of a century in the financial world, I was dreaming of a second calling. I didn't start this new journey until shortly before I turned 60, so sometimes it feels like I'm in a race with the clock! Then, I realize I'm having so much fun that it's all good. I would love to use my music to generate social messages. ... more
