It was for a while it lasted
It was for a while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was for a it lasted
I had a girl down in
Houston
Man, she sure was fine
An old man worked
On the oil pipeline
He came over not too early
He caught me with his girlie
But she whispered to me
As I slid on out the door
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
Killer nights we took
Elevated, uplifted
Then the scene slowly shifted
To a moment of pleasure
I saw you there in the moonlight
And you were lookin' so right
I told myself
I better go on out tonight
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
It was fun while it lasted
Okay!
It was fun while it lasted,
it was fun while it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted,
it was fun while it lasted
Now you heard my story
Of this true love adventure
And you'll know what to do
If this rain happens to you
It was for what it lasted
It was for what it lasted
Gee, we really got blasted
out of time and spot
It was for what it lasted
It was for what it lasted
We're having so much fun
Ooh
Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
you.
Thank
This is one of prettiest songs
that was written by an
Austin legend,
Mr.
Butch
Hancock.
Everybody knows
Butch out there.
He wrote a lot of songs for
Joe
Ealy
and a bunch of our friends and can't
write so many tunes.
Man, it's ridiculous how many songs.
the great story about
Austin,
you know, we live a real far out life
down here.
It's a pity he had this thing on
the tape for a long time.
know, followed me around,
just listen to this, listen to that.
So finally in
New
York, we finally got to record it.
I finally heard it played
with his organ.
don't know, here's what came out of it.
A thing called, I
Keep
Wishing
For
You.
One of
Butch's best.
