good then

life was good then
we were ageless and young
I'm the father of three kids
and their dad is a son of a gun
some folks don't like me
so I don't like them back
I may not be your kind
but you don't need to attack

love was good then
without her is a drag
memories of two of us
as one in a sleeping bag
if it hadn't been for the drinking
I'da never gone after that girl
she got my brain to thinking
and she firmly rocked my world

          it's so damn strange
          the way things change
          what I would give
          to have something remain
