Good Times lyrics

She's always leaving early
And she always shows up late
She's a good one still trying
Lets no good time slip away

Gives a bear hug in the morning
Breaks up fights outside of bars
Takes her whiskey neat, her coffee cheap
And never liked her scars

Boy he's wrestled down his demons
Broke the fall of all his friends
Quotes the Bible and the Koran
Has the heart of fifteen men

Never wonders what you're doing
Never needs the words to say
There's some good ones still trying
Lets no good time slip away

Let no good time slip away
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away

Slow danced with an opera singer
On the stage after the show
Prays the same prayer every supper
Rolls his cigarettes real slow

Keeps a knife inside her pocket
Keeps a pen inside her coat
Keeps her words close to her heart
Keeps that letter that she wrote

He can calm a newborn baby
Saved his own life in a flood
Been tied up by Chinese pirates
Spent the night in his own blood
Hung a hammock in the jungle
Loved one woman all his days
There's some good ones still trying
Lets no good time slip away

Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin', keep on
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'

Punched a hammerhead in the hog sty
She was looking for a fight
Only tells her stories if you
Stay up late into the night

Danced for rain with the Apache
Had Hell's angels on his side
Took confession from a cardinal
Held him down and made him cry

The first one you call on
The last one by your side
Hugs the soldiers in the airport
Not one for long goodbyes
He's not afraid of crying
Never one to look for praise
There's some good ones still trying
Lets no good time slip away

Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin', keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Let no good time slip away
Keep on tryin'
Keep on tryin'
Tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin'
