Lyrics:
Good Times, Bad Times [Live version (a)]:

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 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'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 before she was rid of me
She swore she would be all mine, love me til the end
When I looked into her eyes, I lost another friend
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 with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

I know what it's like to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the people say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
And I say baby, we ain't never gonna part
