people often tell me that all my songs are sad lately i spend all my time alone and feeling bad but they can rest assured that i ve seen good times too but good times they don t sound as good as the things that make me blue good times they don t rhyme as well and happy songs don t always tell the truth about the living hell that a woman sometimes brings i used to like watching hippie dance til i traded mine in for a burning man chances are it wasn t meant to be so i ll keep writing cowboy songs and being me there s laughing on the hillside there s crying down below there s a crook on every corner and there s mercy on your soul there s a woman that will love you and there s a woman that will cheat there s a loyal dog just waitin alone on every street so get a dog good times they don t rhyme as well and happy songs don t always tell the truth about the living hell that a woman sometimes brings i went over to her house to make amends and found her jumping on the bed with all my friends chances are it wasn t meant to be good times they don t rhyme as well and happy songs don t always tell the truth about the living hell that a woman sometimes brings the girl in echo park was cute til she ran off with the blue man group chances are it wasn t meant to be so i ll keep picking this here guitar and feeling mean there s a bar girl in the window she s staring back at me she s still as a stubborn statue she s fine as make believe but she s filled with bad intentions and her eyes are made of sin she s taken fire and brimstone to the lives of many men stear clear good times they don t rhyme as well and happy songs don t always tell the truth about the living hell that a woman sometimes brings so take advice from me my friend just don t fall in love with a mannequin chances are it wasn t meant to be just keep stealing cowboy songs and feeling free we ll just keep stealing cowboy songs and feeling free
