I've Had a Good Time

Statler Brothers · Showtime [Crossroads] [2001]

(Don Reid)



Sometimes I find myself just sittin' all alone and wondering

Tryin' hard to figure out my life and what it means

It's not the things I never got, the chance to do that matter

It's the things I took the chance to do that matter most to me.



I've had a good time had a good life

Had a good home had a good wife

Had a little rain, had a little sun

Had a little sin, I had a little fun.



I've been up on cloud nine, been down on my luck

Make a few friends, made a few bucks

Been fell in love a couple of times,

I've had a good time.



I've had a good time, had a good ride

Sometimes I lost, sometimes I won

Wrote a few songs that still get sung

I didn't give up and I didn't die young.



I've been up I've been down I've been to the wall

But I've been blessed Lord through it all

Even fell in love two or three more times.

I've had a good time



--- Instrumental ---



I've had a good time, had a good ride

Sometimes I laughed, sometimes I cried

Sometimes I looked, sometimes I touched

Sometimes I took just a little too much.



Well, I never look back, got no regrets

Well, maybe a few but even yet

I'd love to do it again just one more time

I've had a good time.



--- Instrumental ---



Let's sing this song one more time

And have a good time.



I've had a good time, had a good ride

Sometimes I lost, sometimes I won

Wrote a few songs that still get sung

I didn't give up and I didn't die young...
