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  babe  we  ain't  ever  gonna  part
