in the days of my youth
i was told what it means to be a man
and now i've reached that age
i've tried to do all those things the best i can
no matter how i try
i find my way to the same old jamgood times, bad times, you know I've had my share
when my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but i still don't seem to care
sixteen, i fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
it only took a couple of days 'till she was rid of me
she swore that she woul d be all mine, love me 'till the end
but when i whispered in her ear, i lost another friend, ohgood times, bad times, you know i've had my share
when my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but i still don't seem to care...
good times, bad times, you know i've had my share
when my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but i still don't seem to care
i know what it means to be alone
i sure do wish i was at home
i don't care what the neighbours say
i'm gonna love you, each and every day
you can feel the beat within my heart
realize, sweet babe, we ain't never gonna part
i feel good when i look into your eyes
