Good times Bad times My daddy was a preacher My mama was a sinner too They both gave up on faith just trying to find the truth Mama jumped right in to another man's grin And turned everything around And I fought to save this day when it's all clearer now Well I'm talkin' bout the Good times Bad times I'm fadin' away Good times Bad times Are you going my way? I keep on reachin' I keep myself alive These days ain't chasin' me Never runnin' out of time Until you feel like the message ain't real You should never die Don't wait here all your life for the moment to arrive Ya gotta take it through the Good times Bad times I said I'm fadin' away I said I'm givin' more every day Talkin' bout the good times Bad times Are you goin' my way? Are you goin' my way? It's not so complicated It's just a state of mind Oh forgive me Lord When you're waiting all your life You're searchin' for a meaning somewhere Searchin' for a reason Don't let your glory slip away Johnny was a poor man He worked at the five and dime His kids waited up for him But he didn't have the time Ya see he set his eyes on a rich man's prize Lookin' out for number one But his wife quit hangin' on And took his one and only son That's why I'm singin' to you Good times Bad times I'm fadin' away I said I'm givin' more every day Talkin' bout the good times Bad times Are you goin' my way? Are you goin', are you goin' my way? Good times Bad times Ya got to give it to me more Good times Bad times Are you goin' my way? Ah ya gotta sing it to me now Good times Bad times Good times Bad times Are you goin' my way? Are you goin', are you goin' my way?
