Fun While It Lasted
Billy Joe Shaver

I met her one evenin' in a bar room downtown

She was the picture of truth

Her shoulders were sagged and her head was bowed down

Like me she was livin' the blues


When the music had ended and the crowd dwindled down

And we were the last lonely two

We left with each other when nothin' was left

And nothin' left better to do


And it was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long

Before we knew it the thrill was all gone

And we both wound up singin' the same lonesome song

It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long



I had a woman and she had a man

Before we both lost it all

When I thought of her that's when she thought of him

And I never could stand that thought


It was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long

Before the mornin' I'd packed up and gone

And we said goodbye singin' the same worn out song

It was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long
