In the days of my youth

I was told what it means to be a man

A' 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 to the same old jam

Good times bad times

You know I've had my share

When 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

Til she was rid of me

She swore that she would be all mine

An' love me till the end

But when I whispered in her ear

I lost another friend ohhh

Good times bad times

You know I've had my share

When 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

When 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 neighbors say

I'm gonna love you each and every day

You can feel the beat within my heart

Realize sweet baby we ain't ever gonna part
