While the Gettin's Good Songtext
von Bones Owens

I heard somebody say
Some cold and lonely day
That love don′t ever stay
One place too long
I guess for some that's true
So was for me and you
That omen came right through
And you were gone
Ohh, you were gone
Ohh, like a drunken song
Ohh, I learned that if I could
Better get it while the getting′s good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting's good
Ohh, ohh
I had some money once Went out and dug it up
Man, I spent all that stuff
Trying to get along
Work fingers to the bone
And wound up all alone
Ain't that the way it goes
Always ends up gone
Ohh, you were gone
Ohh, like a drunken song
Ohh, I learned that if I could
Better get it while the getting′s good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting′s good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting's good
