I'm Trading the Best Times of My Life for a Little Money
by Brian Funk
About this track
The First Light contains recordings of songs the moment they were written. It is the first time anyone, including me, ever heard them. I give away my best every day For people who wish I’d just stay home And I don’t think that I disagree It’s not working out for them and it’s not working for me Would you meet me in Montana The cost of living's lower there We could settle down and start over Living here is costing me The best times of my life I’m not above giving up There’s skill in knowing when enough is enough How you spend your day is how you spend your life I’m tired of wishing away days for a weekend Would you Meet me in Montana We could settle down out there Picking up odd jobs and living small Cuz living here is costing me The best times of my life I’m trading the best times of my life for a little money I wanna know how to live I wanna feel excited And I don’t want to miss A chance to ignite it Would you meet me in Montana I know you had a lover there years ago We could settle down and start over Living here is costing me The best times of my life It's costing me the best times of my life
