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 to the same old jam.
Good times, bad times,
You know I've had my share.
When my woman left home with 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.
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.
But when I whispered in her ear,
I lost another friend.
Good times, bad times,
You know I've had my share.
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man, well, I still don't seem to care.
Good times, bad times, you know I've 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 ain't never gonna part.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't never gonna part.
