High Time

You told me goodbye
How was I to know?
You didn't mean goodbye
You meant please don't let me go
I was having a high time
living the good life
Well I know
The wheels are muddy
got a ton of hay
now listen here, Baby
'cause I mean what I say
I'm having a hard time
living the good life
Well I know
I was losing time
I had nothing to do
No one to fight
I came to you
Wheels broke down
Leader won't draw
The line is busted
The last one I saw
Tomorrow come trouble
Tomorrow come pain
Now don't think too hard, Baby
'cause I know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time Living the good life
Don't be that way.
Nothing's for certain
It could always go wrong
We could have us a high time living the good life
Well I know.
