Good Times

She's always leaving early

And she always shows up late

She's a good one still trying

Lets 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

Lets 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

Lets 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

Lets 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'
