The Times I’ve Had

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about the times I've had
They ain't so good, and they ain't so bad
Let me tell you about the times I've had
Travellin' up the road to Gilead

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Verse 2]
Too many people tryin' to lead the blind
Half of them don't even know their own minds
Let me tell you when you see the light
You gotta stand and shout when you know it's right

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Verse 3]
Lots of people talkin' about a comin' war
Some of 'em rich and some of 'em poor
They talk about it like a blackjack game
But you win or lose you can't play again

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Verse 4]
I was in Ohio in a little truck stop
When a soldier told me this peace's gotta stop
He said, "Think about the economy
I ain't afraid to fight for my country"

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Let me tell you about the times I've had
They ain't so good, and they ain't so bad
Let me tell you about the times I've had
Travellin' up the road to Gilead

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Verse 6]
It's folks that wanna fight that I'm talkin' about
They're leadin' the blind in a timeless drought
I don't want no drought on my land
When there's peace and love in my right hand

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about the places I've been
Let me tell you about the folly in men
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had

[Outro]
Mm, mm
Oh, the times I've had
