Old Times Good Times Lyrics - Stills Stephen

(Stephen Stills) 

When I was young and needed my time alone 

Jump in the pirogue, pole down the Bayou 

Bogafalaya River was dark and cold 

Seven years old, I couldn't find my way home 

chorus: 

Old times, good times 

Old times, good times 

When I was twelve, I learned how to play the guitar 

Got myself a job in a jax beer bar 

Got myself together, went to New Orleans 

Found myself workin' for rice and beans 

chorus 

New York City was so damned cold 

I had to get out of that town before I got old 

California, rock and roll dream 

Got too high and we blew our whole scene 

But we had a good time 

chorus (x2)
