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


Oh yeah


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
