Good Times Bad Times Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam
[Chorus]
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
[Verse 2]
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til the end
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oh
[Chorus]
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
[Outro]
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbours say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't never gonna part
I feel good when I look into your eyes

What has the media said about the song?
Rolling Stone named the track the #6 Zeppelin song of all time, saying:
The first song on the first album introduces the band with a declaration of surly defiance (‘I don’t care what the neighbors say’), a stun-gun riff and a restless, syncopated drum pattern, which Page cited as evidence of Bonham...
