Crosby Stills Nash And Young - Might as Well Have a Good Time lyrics

(Lyrics by Judy Henske, Music by Craig Doerge)

There are windows on the water

Lighting up the silver strand

Shining on the sea

Shining on the sea

And the ocean's just a player

On an old piano

Who repeats one melody

Who repeats one melody

Chorus

I belong on the shore

Hustlin' nickels and dimes

'Cause it ain't long

Before it's gone

You might as well have a good time

Well the elbows of his jacket

Are blue and shiny

He's drunk and gone to seed

Drunk and gone to seed

And he mumbles as he plays

The only song he knows

It's the only song he knows

It's the only song he needs

Chorus

I belong on the shore

Hustlin' nickels and dimes

'Cause it ain't long

Before it's gone

You might as well have a good time

All his restless music

Don't mean a damn thing to me

The shallow or the deep

Said, the shallow or the deep

So if you're free this evening

We'll go out together

And party 'til we sleep

Party 'til we sleep

Chorus

I belong on the shore

Hustlin' nickels and dimes

'Cause it ain't long

Before it's gone

You might as well have a good time.
