Hangin` On To The Good Times Lyrics

Craig Fuller, Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Fred Tackett 



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 quarters 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
