Live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times

Well, the good Lord's done give you everything to make you happy
The birds and the bees and the leaves on the trees
And the love in your baby's eyes
So why not let your hair down and try a little bit laughin'
Don't always look for the rainy days, let the sun shine for awhile

You'd better live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times

There's not a day that passes, we don't grow a little bit older
And the time you live won't be regiven, our money just won't buy
So why not lift your head up, get those worries off your shoulder
'Cause everything ain't gonna be right, no matter how you try

So you gotta live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times

You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on child, live for the good times
