Curly and Lil lyrics

[Verse 1]
Curly would drive that old pickup truck
Lilly would roll a cigarette
They never sweated the money the made
They get by just fine on anything they get

[Chorus]
And it's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and a singin' in a family band
Just a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Verse 2]
They traveled this country from L.A. to Maine
Seattle and back to Key West
Through thousands of gigs, all the miles that they did
They say that raising five kids tops the list

[Chorus]
And it's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and singin' in a family band
Just a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Verse 3]
Curly sold Dobros for seven long years
Always on the road, not at home
He told Lilly one day, "Before it all slips away
Let's take the kids out there and make it on our own"
[Chorus]
And it's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and a singin' in a family band
And a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Verse 4]
Picking and fishing and meeting other folks
Making home brew and cooking steaks
Wear your old clothes and drive on those country roads
Live your mistakes and make up your own breaks

[Chorus]
It's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and a singin' in a family band
Just a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Bridge]
Do what you think you need to do
Go where you think you can
Someone's got to stay at home, you know
And hold down the family, man
He's a family man
But I need to see what I think I need to see to be me
I've got to go where I can, you know, do what I can do
I gotta be me if I can be me, me, me
Someone's got to stay at home, but I just gotta roam
I gotta see this country [?]
I could go 'round this world hundreds of times
[Chorus]
Yes, it's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and singin' in a family band
And a travelin' and a livin' off the land, oh yeah

[Verse 5]
Curly told me if you want to be free
You got to be your own boss
Be fair with those you like, do what you think is right
If they still don't like you, pack it up and walk

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's good times when they get here
Short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and a singin' in a family band
Just a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Chorus]
It's good times when they get here
Oh yes, it's a short time 'til they are gone
Just pickin' and a singin' in a family band
Just a travelin' and a livin' off the land

[Outro]
[Yodel]
