Good Times

She's always leaving early and she always shows up late

She's a good one still trying, let's 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, let's 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, let's 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, let's 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', tryin'
