"Dandy Life" is a song by the American rock band Collective Soul.
It was the first of two commercially released songs by Collective Soul that do not feature vocals from lead singer Ed Roland; the latter one is "I Don't Need Anymore Friends" from the album Afterwords (2007), which was written and sung by Childress' successor, lead guitarist Joel Kosche.
Commenting on the creation of "Dandy Life," Roland said: Ross wrote that one.
[1] Collective Soul performed the song once during their Dosage Tour at the House of Blues in the Las Vegas Valley on September 21, 1999.
[3] Childress' group Starfish and Coffee performed the song live during their tenure as a band.
