Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe, I believe, I believe I'll change my way
There is three things, cross me down today
There is three things in life just won't let me rest
There is three things in life just won't let me rest
There's whiskey and good time, and a good woman can do the rest
Yeah, more'll make your love come down
Boy you should go home 'cause you can't do a thing but clown
Yeah, look how three things brought me down
Yeah, look how three things brought me down
Now don't fly high, 'cause it hurts when you hit the ground
I don't wanna be rich, I don't care for fancy clothes
Now I don't wanna be rich, I don't care for fancy clothes
Yes give me a pretty woman and an automobile, I will be a happy soul
The lyrics to Big B's song "Good Times" touch on the complexities and pitfalls of life. The repetition of "I believe, I believe, I believe I'll change my way" speaks to the struggle of trying to break old habits and patterns. The singer is acknowledging that there are three things in life that are difficult to resist and that constantly nag at him: whiskey, good times, and women. These vices are what he is trying to resist to "change his way".
The next few lines touch on the addictiveness of alcohol and how it can bring a person down, leading to them to do things that they may regret. The line "Boy you should go home 'cause you can't do a thing but clown" speaks to the singer's recognition that alcohol can make a person act foolishly and embarrassingly.
The chorus highlights that the three things that have brought the singer down are whiskey, good times, and a woman. He then warns against getting too high or too caught up in these vices because it hurts when you come back down to reality. The final lines of the song reveal that the singer's ultimate goal is not wealth or extravagance, but rather the simple pleasures of a beautiful woman and a car, suggesting that he hopes to find happiness in the simpler things in life.
