Those Were the Good Times

Tammy Wynette & George Jones

(Glenn Martin)



Broken down apartment rooms

Paper plates and plastic spoons

Honey, those were the good times.



Twenty dollar wedding band

Cotton dress and dish-pan hands

Honey, those were the good times

Those were the good times

Those were the, 'give you all I could', times.



We got by on what we made

And we made love everyday

And honey, those were the good times.



Now, this house is an empty place

Satin sheets and lots of lace

But honey, gone are the good times



Big parties, imported booze

Tailored clothes, Italian shoes

But honey, gone are the good times

Gone, are the good times

Gone, are the, 'give you all I could', times.



But have they really slipped away

Can we bring them back to stay?

'Cause honey, those were the good times.



Honey, those were the good times...
