Lover of the Good Times

I moved to the desert
Now I'm more enlightened
Wake up every morning in Joshua Tree

Make my cup
Drink it up
And hop in my Mercedes and cruise to town

Pull up to the Palms
Have a burger for pennies
Just one cocktail and I'm headed on out to the city

I'm a lover of the good times
Hope I'll make it out alive
I'm gonna lead an honest real good life in the country
He's a lover of the good times
Hope he'll make it out alive

Here I am at some party
Got my friends all around me
As I'm knockin' 'em dead I'm knockin 'em back

Long drive on a Sunday
Gram Parsons singin' to me
Green Green Grass of Home all the long way back

Sunset in the desert
Illuminatin' the red dirt
I should be feelin' high right now

Look at this lover of the good times
I know he'll make it out alive
He's gonna lead an honest real good life in the country
I'm a lover of the good times
I hope I'll make it out alive
I'm gonna reel it in and settle down
Yea, he'll settle down

He's a lover of the good times
I hope he'll make it out alive
Oh, reel it in
He's a lover of those good times
Gonna lead an honest good life
Oh, and settle down
