John Robert Jackson - Our Life And Times Lyrics
A Texas oilmanOut to make a livingTaken to a different townEver since they burned the Courthouse downGotta run title to get it done rightBefore the news breaks outAbout a wildcatter southThey just laugh and say… heyIt’s our life and times… our life and timesShe’s working at the DinerThrowing out those ole whinersKeepin’ with the other five and dimersShe hears the newsThis here town is gonna boomShe hangs up her apronRuns to the bank and gets a loanStarts up her own placeAnd says Lord thank you… thank youFor our life and timesOur life and times… our life and timesOh yeah, hey I tell yaWell now this is whereThey’re all waiting for the outcomeMostly taking odds against themOh yeah, that well came in late last nightOur life and times… our life and timesOh yeah, and that new Diner is doing real fineOur life and times… our life and timesYou might as well enjoy itOur life and timesStrength and witYou have to bet your life on itHere’s to the WildCatterOur life and times… our life and timesOur life and times… our life and times
