Can't Take Away The Good Times Lyrics

All the money in the world

Can't make it happen

No miracle can erase it

No lapse can fade it

Earthquake can't shake it

Can't be held under by a weight

Stronger than a hammer banging on a nail

Your baby being born

The first time you met your girl

The first time you played a gig

The first time you drove a car

The first time you snuck out of the house

When the folks were sleeping

The first time you realized

You were just a human being

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

The time when water came pouring through the ceiling

The time in church I ripped my pants when I was kneeling

The time Jehovah's, came over to the house

Hid behind the couch until they went next door

The Christmas the tree fell down

Dad tied it to the wall

Then while sleeping

Mom heard it come crashing down

When my older brother, shaved off his brows

When I was at college hitting every party in brick town

Falling in love was still the best of all

Such a vivid recall

No hesitation, no stall

It was the first time in my life

I felt nothing wrong

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

You can repossess my home

You can repossess my car

But you can't empty all the memories, that I've had so far

The crazy characters I've met in my Father's bar

Working with the cooks in the kitchen

While I was doing dishes

The regulars' crazy antics

I couldn't script this

Waitresses, I'm happily married now

Let's not get into this

It's one of those magical moments

That could never happen again

When I tell people about it

I never know where to begin

My love of history

You can always quiz me

Not just in a book

Mostly about my family

One left too soon, so sadly

And I miss him badly

The times with him

I will always keep having

His empty chair at the table

I still visualize him still sitting there

I will always raise my glass

Raise it to the air

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had

Can't take away the good times

You've already, you've already had
