Born lucky, I guess
Didn't hurt that I was in the right place at the right time too
That girl she was dandelion beautiful
Damn she was beautiful
The winter wind blows her like a bird
And the petals on the flower fly away
Sometimes it don't matter what you say
All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away
I found me a game out towards Shreveport
Couple days just hiding from the sun
Good with the cards and good with the dice
You could say, I had a lucky little run
But what it all made it
Just a little bit more today
But all the luck you have is
Just the bills you left unpaid
All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away
Seems sure to me there has to be, such a thing as the good ol' days
Some day somewhere my hair like my memories
Will all just fade out to gray
But they're all right now, and I'd just as soon keep it that way
All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away, yell out
