    Lyrics:
    This house is now a litany
    Things I thought I'd never be
    A man who has opinions on an ottoman among other things
    I used to think I'd miss the road
    The crushing fame and sold out shows
    I just sing head, shoulders, knees and toes
    Like I'd forgotten 'em
    But I'm alive and
    Baby, I'm thriving
    Oh yeah
    I'm living my best life
    I wake up with the sunrise
    It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
    I've been getting my steps in
    And I sleep with my best friend
    It's the best that it has been in a long time
    I'm living my best life (living my best life)
    Yeah, yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)
    Sometimes it sucks to tell the truth
    And I took it hard like people do
    But I'm learning how to eat the fruit that is in season
    Never thought I'd be a grown ass man
    But you know what they say of best laid plans
    Now I'm holding on to my daughter's hand
    I've got a reason
    To be alive and
    Oh yeah
    Baby, I'm thriving
    Yeah, yeah
    I'm living my best life
    I wake up with the sunrise
    It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
    But I've been getting my steps in
    And I sleep with my best friend
    It's the best that it has been in a long time
    I'm living my best life (living my best life)
    Yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)
    Come on
    I'm living my best life
    The best that I can
    No more worry or stress life
    'Cause I'm done with them
    I'm as light as can be
    I'm as fresh as a breeze
    Right where I wanna be so
    If you need to find me
    I'll be living my best life
    Waking up with the sunrise
    Looking at things like what the actual hell
    But I've been counting my blessings
    And I sleep with my bestfriend
    It's the best that it has been for a long time
    It's the best that it had been for a long time
    I'm living my best life (living my best life)
    Yeah, yeah, living my best life, ooh (living my best life)
    I've been living my, living my, living my best life, ooh (living my best life)
    (Living my best life, ooh)

    @Tom-ts2bw 2 роки тому +31

    A fantastic message. My personal application here is that we have the potential to live our best life in whatever stage we are at. Sometimes we think this moment is the best stage but it gets better. Sometimes we are waiting and working for that "one day" when it will get better. For me, even with the daily routines and things we are doing to move each day along with our family and kids, the busy busy, the craziness, the daily efforts we are making, that right there...is my best life. I once heard a great man say something to the effect of "when you have children, that's when real life starts";). Thank you, Ben!

    Lately I thought my life was pretty shitty and I was listen to satellite radio sports station and they played this song on the intro and I instantly start crying in my car way to work. It was crazy I have never heard of him but. I look up the whole song and listen to it and I thought to my self maybe my life isn't so bad. So I got to keep getting my steps in. And keep waking up next to my friend.
