Having a Good Time

from Mercury 85 by Dan Johnson

/

lyrics

Somebody's telling somebody a joke
Everybody's laughing as I put on my coat
The crowd is crying and shouting for more
I hear my name as I open the door
You were sitting on the hood of my car
I could see you smile in the light from the bar
How did we ever take it this far
Like the light from some burnt out star

You like to keep it all between the lines
My life gets a little bit messy sometimes
Love is everywhere but truth is hard to find
A lot of dumb stuff gets done in the name of having a good time

I was smoking on the porch outside
I saw Jimmy I heard he had died
You left with him you said you needed a ride
I went out in the yard and I cried and I cried

I fell into the fire last night
I didn't get burned I was all right
I lost my shirt and I got in a fight
I woke up on the lawn just at first light
