oh what a good thing we had

Johnny Cash

Sunshine and showers and everything comin' up daisies
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Driveins and picnics end every day was saturday
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

The whole wide world was jealous
We wouldn't hear a thing they'd tell us
Never did need any money
Everything was milk and honey
Oh, long walks by the river talkin' bout living together
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

[solo instrumental]

Long weeks of waitin' and livin' for the day we marry
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Happiness and laughter we found everything we were after
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

The whole wide world was jealous
We wouldn't hear a thing they'd tell us
Never did need any money
Everything was milk and honey
Oh, long walks by the river talkin' bout living together
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
