Started way back when I was just four years old
Never did as I was told
Twenty years later and not a damn thing has changed
Yeah, I'm still the same
And I'm still deranged
Well the cops came and locked me
All because I just couldn't stop
And now I'm doing five
In the penitentiary
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Now I'm back on the street and trying not to break parole
I'm going to church
Sitting in the front row
They passed me the biggest offering plate I'd ever seen
I couldn't help myself
There was so much green
Well the Pastor called the cops
And they came and they locked me up
And now I'm doing ten
In the penitentiary
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Now I'm out on the street and trying to keep my nose clean
I got me a job
In a bowling league
Well, the women's team captain is a ball bustin' son of a gun
She got in my face
So I just swung
Well, that was my third strike
Cause she was the Sheriff's wife
And now I'm doing life
In the penitentiary
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Me and Big Larry busted out of the prison walls
And we made our way
To Mexico
A pretty senorita sang a song of sweet seduction
But just my luck,
She was the Federali's wife, Why
Now I'm wearing a blindfold
And I'm having my last smoke
And this firing squad
Is gonna be the death of me
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Goodbye, all of my good times
I had some good times, saying goodbye
Goodbye, all of my good times
Yeah, I sure had some good times, now I'm saying goodbye
