Lyrics

It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
I had a girl down in Houston
Man, she sure was fine
Her old man worked
On an old pipeline
He came home one night too early
He caught me with his girlie
But she whispered to me
As I slid on out the door
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
Killer nights we drifted
Elevated, uplifted
Then the scene slowly shifted
To a moment of pleasure
I saw you there in the moonlight
And you were looking so right
I told myself
I'd better go on out tonight
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
Okay
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
Now, you've heard my story
Of this true love adventure
And you'll know what to do
If this playin' out much to you
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted, havin' so much fun
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted, havin' so much fun
It was fun while it lasted, havin' so much fun
Gee, we really got blasted, havin' fun at home
It was fun while it lasted
Yeah, that's one of my newest
Yeah
This is one of the prettiest songs ever
Written by an Austin legend, Mr. Butch Hancock
Everybody knows Butch out there
He wrote a lot of songs for Joe Ely and a bunch of our friends
Cat writes so many tunes, man
It's ridiculous how many songs and, uh
Great story around Austin, you know
We live a real far-out life down here
But he had this thing on a tape for a long time, you know
Followed me around, just "Listen to this, listen to this"
So finally in New York, we finally got to record it
I finally heard it played with his organ, I don't know
Here's what came out of it
A thing called "I Keep Wishing For You"
One of Butch's best
