Little Feat - Hangin On To The Good Times Lyrics
Craig Fuller, Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Fred TackettHey old friend, it's been such a long timeSince I saw your smilin' face pressed against my window paneThough it's the middle of the nightAnd we were racin' the light of the mornin'All those new thoughts dawnin'About the wrong and the rightWe spent our money so fineThe girls were standing in lineEvery other nightWas always the sameParadise without any shame We'd stay up all nightTryin' to find just the right rhymesAnd we were fightin' the good fightHangin' on to the good times Jaunita she's a little bit older nowSpotcheck Billy looks just the sameThree card monte on the boulevardWith mirrors on his shoes And I just have to laughWhen I recall the time down in New OrleansDon't ya knowRained us out of an indoor showWe spent our money so fineThe girls were standin' in lineDown in the quarters at lucky Pierre'sA time of our life without any cares We'd stay up all nightTryin' to find just the right rhymesAnd we were fightin' the good fightHangin' on to the good times Yes old friend we had some timesAnd later on the moon declinedTo shine its light so benevolentlyIt's grace withheld from our companyand though we went our own waysWe couldn't escape from where we cameSo we find ourselves back at the table againTellin' stories of survivors and friends We'd stay up all nightTryin' to find just the right rhymesAnd we were fightin' the good fightHangin' on to the good timesUp all nightTryin' to find just the right rhymesAnd we were fightin' the good fightHangin' on to the good timesUp all nightTryin' to find just the right rhymesAnd we were fightin' the good fightHangin' on to the good times
