about

Wrote this song after spending an evening listening to a lot blues with my friend Denny. Lyrics came after he lost his battle with cancer. This is a live version from a concert we did at Castoro Cellars in 2011 that was recorded by Tyson Leonard.

lyrics

Good Times Gone
by John Beccia

I couldn't take it when I heard the news
Abandoned like a pair of worn out shoes
How feelings move you when you lose a friend
Is this the way the good times end?


CHORUS Oh where, oh where have all the good times gone?
Remembering the things that you have done
Now all that's left you is to carry on
Oh where have all the good times gone?

I stayed up watching all the late night shows
They never gave a clue to how life goes
Pictures and words all in a senseless blend
Is this how all the good times end?

REPEAT CHORUS

It's hard to face it
That you're no longer here
Death can't erase it
The love we used to share

I think about you when I hear the blues
The same old story and the same old news
Into the earth is where we all descend
Is this the way the good times end?

REPEAT CHORUS
