A Good Time Lyrics - Sweet Revenge - John Prine

Time was once just a clock to me 

and life was just a book a biography 

Success was something you just had to be 

and I would spend myself unknowingly 

And you know that I could have me a million more friends 

and all I'd have to lose is my point of view 

But I had no idea what a good time would cost 

till last night when I sat and talked with you. 

An apple will spoil if it's been abused 

A candle disappears when its been used 

A rainbow may follow up a hurricane 

And I can't leave forever on a train 

And you know that I'd survive if I never spoke again 

and all I'd have to lose is my vanity 

But I had no idea what a good time would cost 

till last night when you sat and talked with me.

You can smile for the lack of something else to do 

and no one will laugh and point at you 

If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad 

would you still cry every time that you felt sad? 

I thought I'd heard and seen enough to get along 

till you said something neither of us knew 

And I had no idea what a good time would cost 

till last night when I sat and talked with you.
