John Robert Jackson - Our Life And Times lyrics

A Texas oilman

Out to make a living

Taken to a different town

Ever since they burned the Courthouse down

Gotta run title to get it done right

Before the news breaks out

About a wildcatter south

They just laugh and say… hey

It’s our life and times… our life and times

She’s working at the Diner

Throwing out those ole whiners

Keepin’ with the other five and dimers

She hears the news

This here town is gonna boom

She hangs up her apron

Runs to the bank and gets a loan

Starts up her own place

And says Lord thank you… thank you

For our life and times

Our life and times… our life and times


Oh yeah, hey I tell ya

Well now this is where

They’re all waiting for the outcome

Mostly taking odds against them

Oh yeah, that well came in late last night

Our life and times… our life and times

Oh yeah, and that new Diner is doing real fine

Our life and times… our life and times

You might as well enjoy it

Our life and times

Strength and wit

You have to bet your life on it

Here’s to the WildCatter

Our life and times… our life and times

Our life and times… our life and times
