From:
In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
And now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days 'till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me to the end
But when I whispered in her ear I lost another friend, oh!
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but I still don't seem to care
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but 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 neighbours say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realise sweet babe we ain't never gonna part
