[Chorus: Merle Haggard & Leona Williams]
Waitin' on the good life to come
Countin’ every day one by one
Tryin' real hard to save our mon'
Livin' down here in Galveston
Waitin' on the good life to come

[Verse 1: Leona Williams, Merle Haggard & Leona Williams]
Washin' dishes, ironin' clothes
Warm a bottle, wipe a nose
Pullin' my hair and cryin' some
Waitin' on the good life to come

[Verse 2: Merle Haggard, Merle Haggard & Leona Williams]
Work hard all day, swig down two beers
And rush right home to kiss away her tears
Livin' like this sure ain't no fun
Waitin' on the good life to come

[Chorus: Merle Haggard & Leona Williams]
Waitin' on the good life to come
Countin’ every day one by one
Tryin' real hard to save our mon'
Livin' down herе in Galveston
Waitin' on the good life to comе
