THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE
Easy livin’, crazy women, nothing really mattered as such
Dave and Heather got together but nobody believed it much
But it really didn’t matter none, cos we were having fun, yeah

Don and Johnnie short of money robbed the cigarette machine
Drinking Jack and driving back and never knowing where you’d been
But it really didn’t matter none, cos we were having fun, yeah

That was the best year of my life
That was the best year of my life so far, yeah

Endless nights and bar room fights and running from the scene of the crime
Getting high on doobie pie, I don’t recall a better time
But it really didn’t matter none, cos we were having fun, yeah

That was the best year of my life
That was the best year of my life so far

And maybe next year will be better or just as good
And maybe we will do the things we know we should, yeah

Playing cards for changing partners, dying when the sun comes up
Getting drunk and smoking skunk, not knowing when you’ve had enough
But it really didn’t matter none, cos we were having fun, yeah
​
That was the best year of my life
That was the best year of my life so far
That was the best year of my life
That was the best year of my life so far, yeah
