1. NOTHIN' BUT A GOOD TIME

Now Listen

Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet

I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

[Chorus:]
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

[Chorus]

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breaking our backs every day
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya

[Chorus] (x3)


2. LIVIN' FOR THE MINUTE

Two bit Billy was the coolest cat I ever saw
Didn't want no piece of the pie he had to take it all
With his guitar slung low, hanging right above the knees

He made the biggest scene
He made the ladies scream
He had a state fair smile if you know what I mean

[Chorus:]
He was livin' for the minute
Living his life from day to day
If you want it, then take it
He said:
That's the rules
If you wanna play

Magazines covers always shooting for Billy's face
He score of his ladies chalked up on his guitar case
He was a bad ass rocking, baby, always rolling out the Sounds
Like some freight train coming
Did a six string strut
And just tied it down past all the crowd

[Chorus]

Better stop and get out, CC
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

[Chorus] (x2)
