Oh, What a Good Thing We Had

Johnny Cash


Sunshine and showers and everything comin' up, daisies
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Driveins and picnics end, every day was Saturday
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

The whole wide world was jealous
We wouldn't hear a thing they'd tell us
Never did need any money
Everything was milk and honey
Oh, long walks by the river talkin' bout living together
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

Long weeks of waitin' and livin' for the day we marry
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Happiness and laughter we found everything we were after
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had

The whole wide world was jealous
We wouldn't hear a thing they'd tell us
Never did need any money
Everything was milk and honey
Oh, long walks by the river talkin' bout living together

Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
Oh, what a good thing we had, gone bad
Oh, what a good thing we had
