ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Farewell To The Good Times"
(Peter Buck / Alejandro Escovedo / Scott McCaughey)

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
