Hayes Carll - Good While It Lasted Lyrics




I smoked my last cigarette
I drank my last drop
Quit doing all the things
That I swore I'd never stop
I changed my direction
Sang a different tune
Gave up all those childish ways
That made me old too soon

Things were going good for a while
I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on
It was good while it lasted
But it didn't last too long

I used to play on Broadway
The same song every night
Singing for the tip jar
Underneath the neon light
Had a good time with the women
And the compliments were free
I dreamed of something bigger
But it just wasn't meant to be

But I was happy there for a while
Just like a desperado, out searching for a song
It was good while it lasted
But it didn't last too long

Nothing last forever
Time knows that it's true
Sometimes a little while's the best that we can do

You ended up beside me
Like some long-forgotten dream
You took my hand and showed me colors
I had never seen
We both said forever, forever till the end
But forever's something different
To a lover than a friend

We thought we had it all there for a while
Just like that perfect moment 'fore the darkness turned to dawn
It was good while it lasted
But it didn't last too long
The one thing I can tell from all this life that's come undone
It was good while it lasted
But it didn't last too long
It was good while it lasted
But it didn't last too long
