In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man Now I've reached that age, I try to do all those things the best I can But no matter how I try I find my way into the same old jam A good times, bad times You know, I had my share When my woman left home with 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 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 When I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend A good times, bad times You know, I had my share When my woman left home with a brown eyed man But I still don't seem to care A good times, bad times You know, I had my share When my woman left home with 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, we ain't ever gonna part
