I got a lonely room, some old photographs
I got my bourbon, blues on the phonograph
I got stars in my eyes, and it comes as no surprise
I got a pain in my heart

I said good things, good things, good things, real good things
Good things come to those who wait, don't, don't be late
Oh no, don't be late

I got a woman on my mind
That's a memory so sweet and kind
I just couldn't stay, and that gal she couldn't wait
I got tears in my eyes

I said good things, good things, good things, real good things
Good things come to those who wait, don't, don't be late
Oh no, don't be late.

I want you to understand
Come and take me as I am
Take a sad old song
And make it feel like it belongs, it belongs

I got a lonely room, some old photographs
I got my bourbon, blues on the phonograph
I got stars in my eyes, and it comes as no surprise
I got a pain in my heart

I said good things, good things, good things, real good things
Good things come to those who wait, don't, don't be late
Oh no, don't be late

I got a telephone in my heart
When times get rough, I call her up
I got a bluebird in a tree
Singin' me a sweet melody
And I got sunshine, but I don't care
'Cause there's a spirit liftin' me there
Right on time, right on time
Right on time, right on time
