THAT WAS A GOOD LIFE

You came to France to be my best man

You ignored it, it was your friends

Buying you a plane ticket

To find a French woman like mine

O Jim, that was a good life

Working with you

Being part of the family

I met you so long ago now

It was at your parents’ ranch

We went through so many bars

Had such fun in so many camps

O Jim, that was a good life

Driving expensive cars

Not paying for the insurance

This house was open to anybody

Un coup de main for a whiskey

You and your family were so generous

That was a permanent vacation to me

O Jim, that was a good life

Laughing like kids

Not worrying about anything
