Lyrics

You told me good-bye, how was I to know
You didn't mean good-bye, you meant please don't let me go?

I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay
Now listen here, baby, 'cause I mean what I say
I'm having a high time, living the good life, well I know

I was losing time, I had nothing to do
No one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw
The line is busted, the last one I saw
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain
Now don't think too hard baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying

I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong
Come in when it's raining, go on out when it's gone

We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know
