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'
