Jamey Johnson - For The Good Times Lyrics






Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I'll get along; you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

  6. S.... G....

    jamey johnson my favorite country singer

  7. J.... B....

    It ain't as good as Ray did it.

    J.... B....

    He's not Ray Price nor trying to be. It's his interpretation. Anyone willing to tackle a classic is ok by me.

    J.... B....

    Amen, my parents both loved this song, grew up listening to the Country Legends of the 60s. Country is in my blood, and it took a long time to bring me back....

    J.... B....

    Be glad its not Kane Brown or some other shit show trying to do it!!

  8. G.... M....

  11. G.... M....

    love it!!!

  12. r.... h....

    hits close to home

  13. J.... B....

    This has to be some of the finest country I have ever listened to. Yet I have never heard it on the radio thanks to the douchbag commercial bro country.

  14. T.... ....

    holy cow the chill bumps!!!!! for the good times

  15. S.... H....

    Amen..............

  16. J.... D....

    For the good times , 

  17. R.... J....

    Read somewhere that this was the most requested song (radio) of all times. Gave no specific version or artist just the title. Wonder if that is even possible to quantify? Still one of my all time favorites.

  18. K.... B....

    Wooow watta singer and the song.....keep it from the heart!!!

  19. T.... ....

    great reminder of true country music. thx mr Johnson for remembering country

  20. G.... ....

    Wish my old man was around to hear him play. He totally hated what country became with the little teenie bopper trash that had come out over the last decade. He would've appreciated this. Hell, he ended up liking Kid Rock more than the most of the new agers if only b/c he's tight w/ Hank Jr & of course, now JJ.

  21. M.... ....

    this actually sounds pretty damn good!

  22. T.... L....

    I totally clicked on this video to hear someone attempt to sing this song as good as Ray Price, fully expecting a hack job. I was pleasantly surprised. Jamey may be known as just a songwriter that sings, but he covered this song very well.

  23. F.... ....

    no one can touch al greens version

  24. c.... ....

    love al greens version but this did justice your bad ass Jamie!!

  25. i.... ....

    @hobie65202 actually, he has a bit more bass in his voice here than kris kristofferson did, it doesn't sound all that bad, imo

  26. G.... S....

    I like him but he lacks that "something" to become a big star. Maybe it's because he sounds like who ever made the song big. Needs his own style and sound and music..

  27. j.... ....

    @cnc4no8

  28. j.... ....

    @cnc4no8 ROGER THAT! COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY TRUE!

  29. d.... ....

    Wow Wow Wow.....What a great version of this song. Jamie Johnson and company you nailed this song....Nobody even compares in todays country music to these guys. Love your music....Keep it up and dont change a thing.....

  30. K.... B....

    I love Jamey Johnson! This whole album is one you can listen to just sitting on your back porch on a sunny day while sippin a nice Jack and Coke. Love it.

  31. T.... ....

    jamey has saved country

  32. P.... H....

    @cnc4no8 Hell he could sing the dictionary as well and it would be a number 1

  33. c.... s....

    This is so much better than the original done by Ray Price.Jamey just proves that he is an outstanding artist with this cover of a great old song
