_ [Em] It was Sunday morning, [E] I was seven years old, [Em] in the backyard playing in a big [E] mud hole.
I was all decked out, a petty [Em]
shirt, my brand [C#m] new suit, all covered in dirt.
[E] Mama had to see that she was fit to be tight, she's knocking down houses on a ten-high height.
Daddy wasn't laughing, [Em] and I changed my clothes, [B] said,
I'm gonna do the [E] ball alone, [A] but it's a good time, yeah, _ [E] it's a good time, _ yeah.
[B] Our little boy's gonna have a lot _ [E] _ _ _ of fun, it's a good time, yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Em] Ten years [E] later, had a hot rod for it, pops with more clout than he had a hundred before.
You'd sit for it, you'd learn to hurt yourself, you'd learn to be a man if you was [G#] anybody else,
but [A] it's a good time, yeah, _ [E] it's a good time, _ yeah.
[Bm] Our little city's gonna hold you, son, [E] and you're gonna live forever, it's a good time, yeah.

Well, I got a good heart, I wouldn't hurt so, but I'm gonna keep a-rockin' [E] till they call out a-rope.
Old St.
Peter's gonna have [Em] to wait, I'm gonna go to heaven, [E] but I'm not [C] too late, and [A] it's a good time. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Head on to the metal, let you on the run, [E] cause I'm gonna live forever, it's a good time.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] They got the jam, we'll have some fun, [E] cause I'm gonna live forever, [G#] it's a good time.
