Hangin' on to the Good Times - Little Feat

Hey old friend, it’s been such a long time

Since I saw your smilin' face pressed against my window pane

Though it’s the middle of the night

And we were racin' the light of the mornin'

All those new thoughts dawnin'

About the wrong and the right

We spent our money so fine

The girls were standing in line

Every other night

Was always the same

Paradise without any shame

We’d stay up all night

Tryin' to find just the right rhymes

And we were fightin' the good fight

Hangin' on to the good times

Jaunita she’s a little bit older now

Spotcheck Billy looks just the same

Three card monte on the boulevard

With mirrors on his shoes

And I just have to laugh

When I recall the time down in New Orleans

Don’t ya know

Rained us out of an indoor show

We spent our money so fine

The girls were standin' in line

Down in the Quarter at Lucky Pierre’s

A time of our life without any cares

We’d stay up all night

Tryin' to find just the right rhymes

And we were fightin' the good fight

Hangin' on to the good times

Yes old friend we had some times

And later on the moon declined

To shine its light so benevolently

It’s grace withheld from our company

And though we went our own ways

We couldn’t escape from where we came

So we find ourselves back at the table again

Tellin' stories of survivors and friends

We’d stay up all night

Tryin' to find just the right rhymes

And we were fightin' the good fight

Hangin' on to the good times

Up all night

Tryin' to find just the right rhymes

And we were fightin' the good fight

Hangin' on to the good times

Up all night

Tryin' to find just the right rhymes

And we were fightin' the good fight

Hangin' on to the good times
