Lyrics
Here’s to the Good Times - James Ferris & The James St. North, 2018
Written by: James Ferris
Chorus:
Here’s to the good times, a toast to one and all
Here’s to the good times, I hope you have a ball
Here’s to the good times, raise your glass and call
1 – 2 – 3 Sociable!
Verse 1:
I’m living in the big town, in the big smoke in the sky
But I grew up out on the East Coast, it was a simple easy life
We didn’t have much, but we sure knew how to find
The smiles and laughter, we could make the best of times
Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know where this road is gonna lead
But I do know I got everything I need
Yes I got a good girl, good friends and family and I say..
Chorus:
Here’s to the good times, a toast to one and all
Here’s to the good times, I hope you have a ball
Here’s to the good times, raise your glass and call
1 – 2 – 3 Sociable!

Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know where this road is gonna lead
But I do know I got everything I need
Yes I got a good girl, good friends and family and I say..
Chorus:
Here’s to the good times, a toast to one and all
Here’s to the good times, I hope you have a ball
Here’s to the good times, raise your glass and call
1 – 2 – 3 Sociable!
Verse 2:
Now it took me a little while to figure out my life
I made a couple wrong turns, but now I got it right
I keep it simple, I’m taking smaller bites
Put me on a country road over the fast lane anytime
Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know where this road is gonna lead
But I do know I got everything I need
Yes I got a good girl, good friends and family and I say..
Chorus:
Here’s to the good times, a toast to one and all
Here’s to the good times, I hope you have a ball
Here’s to the good times, raise your glass and call
1 – 2 – 3 Sociable!
