Good While It Lasted Lyrics - Lovers And Leavers - Hayes Carll

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
