In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all the 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 with a brown-eyed man Well, 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 'til she was rid of me She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'till the end But when I whisperеd in her ear, I lost another friеnd, oh! Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share When my woman left home with a brown-eyed man Well, 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 Well, I still don't seem to care I know what it means to be alone I sure do wish I was at home I don't care what the neighbors say I'm gonna love you each and every day You can feel the beat within my heart Realize, sweet babe, we ain't never gonna part The truth prevails, the last stand tall Just like the bible says, legends of the fall My friends have lied and cheated me Oh yeah! Miscalculated my resolve Now you'll see
