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 into the same old jam

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share

When my woman left home with 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 'til she was rid of me

She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til the end

But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oh

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

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 ever gonna part
