Farewell to the Good Times - Alejandro Escovedo

Did you wake up to the thunder?

Of the dead streets down below

Did you hear the wind a howlin'?

Through some demon radio

Oh no, I know

It’s so hard to go

If the worlds too fast for livin'

And dyin' so easy to do

Look out any broken window

Is it time to see it through?

Oh no, I know

It’s so hard to go

So say farewell to the good times

There’s nothin' else we can do

Farewell to the good times

They never promise to be true

There’s nothin' left to believe in

Nothin' left here for me and you

I was thinkin' of the future

I was dreamin' of the past

Left so many worlds behind me

Thought some of them might last

Oh no, I know

It’s so hard to go

So say farewell to the good times

There’s nothin' else we can do

Farewell to the good times

They never promise to be true

There’s nothing left to believe in

Nothin' left here for me and you

I was staring at a bottle

My reflection on the shelf

If I blew up my own bridges

Would I only hurt myself?

Oh no, I know

It’s so hard to go

So say farewell to the good times

There’s nothing else we can do

Farewell to the good times

They never promise to be true

There’s nothing left to believe in

Nothing left here for me and you

Farewell to the good times

Farewell to the good times

Farewell to the good times
