Good in '62 Songtext
von Dayna Kurtz

At the stomp called Ponderosa
The old men strut like bandyroos
You had a hit in Louisiana
That spread to Texas in ′62

You're squeezed back in your favorite jacket
With sequins sewn on gabardine
Orange flames are licking black
And on the back, your one, true name

You slam one back and you bite the lime
You had some money in your pockets
And the women were kind
You had it good in ′62
You must've had it good in '62

The band is back but minus jimmy
Gone last year, this one′s for you
Lorelei′s in crinolines
She's looking shy and singing oh


You slam one back and you bite the lime
You had some money in your pockets
And the women were kind
You had it good in ′62
You must've had it good in ′62

In the crowd boys slouch in sideburns
Cuban shirts and two toned shoes
The girls in diggers, pencil skirts
Bettie page got fresh tattoos

You slam one back and you bite the lime
You had some money in your pockets
And the women were kind
You had it good in '62
You must′ve had it good in '62

I don't know what you′re selling now
Could be cars or shares or shoes
But you once sold 12,000 records
Back in 1962


You slam one back and you bite the lime
You had some money in your pockets
And the women were kind
You had it good in ′62
You must've had it good in ′62
Oh, you had it good in '62
You must′ve had it good in '62
