lyrics

Life and Times

I was born in the fifties
Went to war in the sixties
Got home in the seventies
And you know I did my time
This is the life and times

When I got home I went straight to the bar
And you know I ain’t ever left since
I’ve seen many a good woman come and go
Let em slip right through my busted fingertips
Here I am again
Holding court with all my friends
Another joke and another drink
Don’t give a damn about what you think
Cause I was born in the fifties....

I’ve seen a lot here over these past thirty years I was here the day that my son was born
I brought his mother down to this bar
and this bar is the reason that she’s gone
One more for the ditch
My left eye says it’s time to split
Say goodbye and shake some hands
Be back tomorrow and I’ll do it again
