A Good Time Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine
Time was once just a clock to me And life was just a book a biography Success was something you just had to be And I would spend myself unknowingly
And you know that I could have me a million more friends And all Id have to lose is my point of view But I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when I sat and talked with you
An apple will spoil if its been abused A candle disappears when its been used A rainbow may follow up a hurricane And I cant leave forever on a train
And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again And all Id have to lose is my vanity But I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when you sat and talked with me
You can smile for the lack of something else to do And no one will laugh and point a finger at you If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along Till you said something neither of us knew And I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when I sat and talked with you
