Lyrics of Here For A Good Time by George Strait
verse
I′m not gonna lay around
And whine and moan for somebody that done me wrong
Don't think for a minute
That I′m gonna sit around and sing some old sad song
I believe it's half-full not a half-empty glass
Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last
chorus
I ain't here for a long time
I′m here for a good time
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
Pour me some moonshine
When I′m gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
I ain't here for a long time
I′m here for a good time
verse
Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do
But I like to do just what I like
I'll take the chance, dance the dance
It might be wrong but then again it might be right
There′s no way of knowing what tomorrow brings
Life's too short to waste it, I say bring on anything
chorus
I ain′t here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
Pour me some moonshine
When I'm gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
I ain′t here for a long time
I′m here for a good time
I ain't here for a long time
I′m here for a good time
Writer(s): Dean Dillon, Bubba Strait, George Strait
