It's a good life with good friends and a good woman, so appreciate it and enjoy what you have.
My only problem with it is the word Legendary. I don't think it really fits with what the song is about and it sounds like it was just inserted into it because it sounds cool...

I agree with this. To me. he verses are coming from the perspective of the superiors. People tell you dont pick up what you can't lift, just get by, we're all the same etc the chorus is saying to look for, find and appreciate love that helps get through the 9-5 work lifestyle.
It resonates hard with me, which may be why the optimism is really grabbing me this time around. I've been working way too hard the last few months and my brown eyed wife is really getting me by.
