TITLE: THE GOOD TIME BRAND
Music and Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
---------------------------------------------------

They used to make a pretty good brand of liquor
for a pretty good price at my corner store
but i found out today that they took my brand away
they don't make the good time brand no more

my old brand of whiskey came with friends
and we raised a glass to times that never end
but back then we were young, the good times had just begun
and they don't make the good time brand no more

no they don't make the good time brand no more
i've checked my bar room i've checked my liquor store
there ain't nothin' i won't spend for a bottle with my friends
but they don't make the good time brand no more

whiskey bottles don't pour hopes and dreams
and empty glasses don't hold pretty things
but if i had one or two maybe good times would come true
but they don't make the good time brand
don't sell the good time brand
you can't get the good times no more

they don't make the good time brand
don't sell the good time brand
you can't get the good times no more
