The Good Times Are Killing Me (Live 2004)
[Intro]
Here we go!
[Verse 1]
Got dirt, got air, got water
And I know you can carry on
The good times are killing me
Shrugged off shortsighted false excitement
And oh what can I say?
The good times are killing me
Have one, have twenty more "one mores"
And oh it does not relent
The good times are killing me
[Verse 2]
Kick butt, buzz-cut, dickheads
Who didn't like what I said
The good times are killing me
Jaws clenched tight, we talked all night
Oh but what the hell did we say?
The good times are killing me
[Chorus]
The good times are killing me
The good times are killing me
[Bridge]
So long to all that LSD
Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines
(I need more sleep, oh God, I need more sleep)
Late nights with warm, warm whiskey
I guess the good times they were all just killing me
[Verse 3]
Got dirt, got air, got water
And I know you can carry on
The good times are killing me
Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug
The good times are killing me
Have one, have twenty more "one mores"
And oh it does not relent
The good times are killing me
Shit-kicker, city slickers who all wanted me dead
The good times are killing me
Get sucked in and fucked up in more late nights
With more folks that I don't know
The good times are killing me
[Outro]
The good times are killing me
The good times are killing me
The good times are killing me
The good times are killing me
[Audience Applause]
