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
till 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.
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.
