Good Times Bad Times

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
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 had my share
When my woman left home for 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 'til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end
But 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 for 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
