I took the long road, I had my reasons –
Singing the same songs, pr-evoking treason.
I was born with a passion, and I knew my calling –
I've seen dreams lose their dreamers...
I've seen lovers keep falling for love.
Verse:
I was the one with poison, I was the one in trouble -
I was the one who needed, I felt sorry for ones not bleeding.
I felt every bump in the pavement, I have the scares to prove it -
I did not know where you're going -
I just know that I blew you away.
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again...
Verse:
I wish I could cry some days, I wish I could die sometimes -
I've wanted to kill some people, because I knew where they came from.
I carried signs and wore flowers, I stared in the mirror for hours,
I even voted for Jesus, when I was too young to vote so there, and there, and there oh...
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again...
Verse:
I took some wrong roads, I skipped on the highways -
Waving my peace signs, flipped on some days.
I've swallowed my anger, as I choked on my problems,
I've tried helping losers, thank God I'm not lost anymore....
anymore....anymore....
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again…

Love you Whoopie Cat, and I love your new album, have purchased digital copy and will be watching for it to be released on vinyl. Best band in the world to come out in the last decade. What I really need is to see you live, in Newcastle or Sydney. Byron Bay Blues Festival would also be amazing, you will make a lot of new fans. Keep up the amazing work. Doug Gilbert. vinylheaven777
