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 those
Things the best I can
No matter how I try,
I find my way to the same old jam

Good times, bad times,
You know I´ve had my share
When my woman left home
With a browneyed 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
Till she was rid of me

She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end
But when I whispered in her ear,
I lost another friend

Good times, bad times,
You know I´ve had my share
When my woman left home
With a browneyed 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 browneyed 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
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain´t never gonna part
