Well now I've been thinking back on all the stories
how it was back in the day
you tried to rewrite all the glory
not let the truth get in the way

We were travlin' on down the high road
never thinking 'bout coming down (oh yeah)
but then you changed direction
tried to tie me right into the ground (oh no)

You can't have it your way
you can't change the past
I guess it's true what they say
the good times never last

Oh yeah

So now you been walkin along that mean street
that's a place that I don't need to go
I knew I'd always land on my two feet
but I really wish that it wasn't so

How you tried so hard to keep me down
goin' so far out of your way
can't you see it's just a waste of your time
cause I just ain't gonna go away

You can't have it your way
you can't change the past
you know it's true what they say
the good times never...
the good times never last

Lead break

Well now you know, I used to have an old friend
that I met way back in school
you know he was his own man
but he played by his own set of rules

Now he's no longer with us
and his loss has been so profound
there ain't never been a day since then
I ain't been wishing he was still around

I'm gonna have it my way
I'm gonna keep my past
I know it's true what they say
the good times...
the good times...
the good times never
the good times never last

Oh yeah

2nd lead w/chorus
Don'tcha know the good times never last
Don't you know that the good times never last
You know the good times never last
good times never last
You know the good times never last
good times never last
good times never last
