Welcome to the poetry blog of Jared Sewell. While I promise to try writing better poetry than a Vogon, I make no assurances regarding my success.

Good Times Come & Good Times Go

The audio version of Good Times Come & Good Times Go.

Well I was born into this world of worry
On Summit Street in Springfield Missouri.
Mom and Dad were still together then
Two older brothers were my best friends.
But this I've learned & this I know
That good times come & good times go.

Well good times come and good times go
Life likes to rock us to and fro!
Just when you think you've got things figured out
Life will make you want to cry out loud!

Mom and Dad they went their separate ways
But not before they added to the fray.
A little brother and two little girls
Were brought into this great big world.
But folks don't think and they don't know
That good times come and good times go.

Well good times come and good times go
Life likes to Push us to and fro!
Just when you think you've got things figured out
Life will make you want to cuss & shout!

We've all grown up & we've grown apart
Too many times they all broke my heart.
They have their families now and their own lives
They have their husbands and they have their wives.
But families are selfish too and don't you know
That good times come and good times go.

Well good times come and good times go
Life likes to knock us to and fro!
Just when you think you've got things figured out
Life will steal your world and lock you out!

I'm married too now and she's my best friend
But I'm no fool, I know that good times end.
Plan for the bad times when good times are here
If you're in bad times know good times are near.
Take my advice here and then you'll know
That good times come and good times go.

Well good times come and good times go
Life likes to rock us to and fro!
Just when you think you've got things figured out
Life will make you want to cry out loud!
