Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You told me goodbye
How was I to know
You didn't mean goodbye
You meant please don't let me go
[Verse 2]
I was having a high time
Living the good life, well I know
[Verse 3]
The wheels are muddy
Got a ton of hay
Now listen here, baby
'Cause I mean what I say
[Verse 4]
I'm having a hard time
Living the good life, well I know
[Verse 5]
I was losing time
I had nothing to do
No one to fight
I came to you
[Verse 6]
Wheels broke down
Leader won't draw
The line is busted
The last one I saw
[Verse 7]
Tomorrow come trouble
Tomorrow come pain
Now don't think too hard, baby
'Cause you know what I'm saying
[Verse 8]
I could show you a high time
Living the good life, don't be that way
[Verse 9]
Nothing's for certain
It could always go wrong
Come in when it's raining
Go on out when it's gone
[Verse 10]
We could have us a high time
Living the good life, well I know
Written by: Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter
