Let The Good Times Roll

Who am I to tell you how to live
When my life is as big a mess as yours?
Half the time I make up all of this
But there's a handful of things I know for sure
Savour every alleyway cigarette with your Father
Don't turn down one single kiss on the forehead from your Mother
Share every last good recipe
'Cause good food's better with company you know?
So let the good times roll
So don't cry over me
Save your tears for good art and sad movies
Give love away like it's free
And let your heart get torn apart by the beauty
Don't sprint through your life
Walk by the riverside
Meander through in the dancing light
'Cause when it kicks man it doesn't half sting
So make a real big deal out of all the little things
A friend once told me there's power in your words
And then she filled my house with old books and poems
Another showed me that paint can make you hurt
So I pass it on cause that's just worth knowing
Savour every alleyway cigarette with your Father
Don't turn down one single Sunday that you get with your Mother
Share every last good melody
'Cause music's better when it's out of key you know?
So let the good times roll
So don't cry over me
Save your tears for good art and sad movies
Give love away like it's free
And let your heart get torn apart by the beauty
Don't sprint through your life
Walk by the riverside
Meander through in the dancing light
'Cause when it kicks man it doesn't half sting
So make a real big deal out of all the little things
