Gone Are the Good Times

She's stuck in the back seat

On a late night cruise through our city

Her cigarette glows burning

As fast as she blows

 

Now she can't remember

Where she has hid the bottle

At the gates to the park

On hands and knees in the dark

 

But she found an answer

And I know change has come and

 

Gone are the good times

Gone are the good times

That we saved for the hard times

I know they won't be back again

 

She jumps in the front seat

She's racing home in the last heat

She's first out the gate

But she knows she'll be late

 

Now over the narrows

She looks down on our city

With no souvenirs

Nothing can hold her here

 

But she found an answer

I know change has come and

 

Gone are the good times

Gone are the good times

That we saved for the hard times

I know they won't be back again

For the hard times

Gone are the good times

That we saved for the hard times

I know they won't be back again

 

I know she won't be back again
