John Robert Jackson Our Life And Times
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
