Born lucky, I guess   Didn't hurt that I was in the right place at the right time too   That girl she was dandelion beautiful   Damn she was beautiful      The winter wind blows her like a bird   And the petals on the flower fly away   Sometimes it don't matter what you say      All the good things fade away   All the good things fade away      I found me a game out towards Shreveport   Couple days just hiding from the sun   Good with the cards and good with the dice   You could say, I had a lucky little run      But what it all made it   Just a little bit more today   But all the luck you have is   Just the bills you left unpaid      All the good things fade away   All the good things fade away      Seems sure to me there has to be, such a thing as the good ol' days   Some day somewhere my hair like my memories   Will all just fade out to gray   But they're all right now, and I'd just as soon keep it that way      All the good things fade away   All the good things fade away      All the good things fade away   All the good things fade away, yell out
