[00:01.11]Good While It Lasted -Hayes Carll
[00:02.266]Written by :Darrell Scott/Hayes Carll
[00:12.807]I smoked my last cigarette
[00:15.828]I drank my last drop
[00:18.498]Quit doing all the things
[00:20.662]That I swore I'd never stop
[00:23.930]I changed my direction
[00:26.683]Sang a different tune
[00:29.290]Gave up all those childish ways
[00:32.43]That made me old too soon
[00:34.898]Things were going goodday for a while
[00:40.207]I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on
[00:47.20]It was good while it lasted
[00:50.131]But it didn't last too long
[00:57.12]I used to play on Broadway
[01:00.184]The same song every night
[01:03.365]Singing for the tip jar
[01:05.292]Underneath the neon light
[01:08.398]Had a good time with the women
[01:11.296]And the compliments were free
[01:14.58]I dreamed of something bigger
[01:16.337]But it just wasn't meant to be
[01:19.775]But I was happy there for a while
[01:25.192]Just like a desperado out searching for a song
[01:32.46]It was good while it lasted
[01:35.204]But it didn't last too long
[01:39.713]Nothing last forever
[01:42.295]Time knows that it's true
[01:45.258]Sometimes a little while's the best that we can do
[01:54.893]You ended up beside me
[01:57.787]Like some long forgotten dream
[02:01.16]You took my hand and showed me colors
[02:03.937]I had never seen
[02:06.930]We both said forever forever till the end
[02:12.257]But forever's something different
[02:14.440]To a lover than a friend
[02:18.15]We thought we had it all there for a while
[02:23.666]Just like that perfect moment 'fore the darkness turned to dawn
[02:30.699]It was good while it lasted
[02:33.970]But it didn't last too long
[02:38.529]The one thing I can tell from all this life that's come undone
[02:45.14]It was good while it lasted
[02:48.257]But it didn't last too long
[02:50.858]It was good while it lasted
[02:53.882]But it didn't last too long
