In the days of my youth,

I was told what it means to be a man.

Now I've reached the age,

I've 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 IFFFF92ve had my share.

When my woman left home

With a brown eyed man,

Well I still don't seem to care.



Seventeen 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 till the end.

When I whispered in her ear,

I lost another friend.



Good times, bad times,

You know IFFFF92ve 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 ainFFFF92t ever gonna part.
