In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man,
Now I’ve reached the age
Ive tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try
I find my way to do the same old jam.
Good times, bad times
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don’t seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days
‘Till she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend.
Good times, bad times,
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don’t seem to care.
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home.
I don’t care what the neighbors say
I’m gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize .. sweet babe .. we ain’t ever gonna part ….
