Glen Campbell - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Lyrics






Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I hope you had the time of your life.

    RIP Glen Campbell

    i absolutely hate country music. THIS WAS AMAZING.

  4. D.... C....

    Almost sounds like something Campbell would have written. The best compliment a song writer can get. They share part of the same spirit.

  5. W.... D....

    sadly we had no idea how unright the time would seem to be, despite the inevitibiliy and how predictable it came to be. #GlenCampbellRIP

  6. L.... S....

    Glen Campbell could really sing anything, and kept his talent polished and shining right up until the end. Thank you for all the wonderful songs from my childhood and teens, and for sharing your ending with us. RIP.

    Don't hate on Alice Cooper's best friend and golf partner.

  17. H.... S....

    I have heard Glens name before but I never really know who he was, until today when Billie Joe posted this video on Twitter.
    Country isn't really my favorite genre but this cover was actually pretty good 🙃


    RIP Glen. 🙏🏻

    Having known Campbell mostly by his classic hits, such as "Wichita Lineman" I spent yesterday listening to his work - marveling at what an astoundingly talented and versatile performer he was. An enormous range, from covers such as these to his guitar work with Roy Clark to "Amazing Grace" with bagpipes, yet! A consummate musician, even when insidious ravages of Alzheimers began surfacing (Ghost on the Canvas). RIP, Glen Campbell and thank you for sharing your gift as long as you could.

  27. d.... ....

    Awesome. Thank you for your service to music Mr Campbell. Rest now.

  28. C.... M....

    Well I never knew! R.I.P!

  29. T.... ....

    So sad to hear the news today. RIP Glen Campbell. This was my favourite of all his songs.....it helped me through a very difficult time x
    Thank you for posting

  30. H.... L....

    When I was a kid I was a big fan of Glen Campbell. Still am. When I was a young adult Green Day was & still is one of my favorite bands. Given the fact that he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's when he did this cover, and given his recent departure from this Mortal coil, it makes this song so much more profound.

  31. K.... R....

    Rest in peace Glen, I hope you had the time of your life.

  32. B.... R....

    1972. GLENN. CAMBELL. RIP. canyonlocalfilmscom.

    Great talent known for his hit songs one right after another. His guitar playing was excellent too. He passed away today August 8th 2017, at 81 years old. For the young people seeing this post this guy in his day was a big time talent.

  46. i.... ....

    Nice bluegrass feel to it, love the original, not normally a huge fan of GC--but this was good

  76. S.... M....

    Hope you had the time of your life, Mr Campbell. Thank you for your gift.

  77. B.... B....

    Glen is so much more than a country music singer...he is a awesome musician..look up his biography

  78. K.... I....

    This amazing but if u saw Taylor swifts cover it was trash

  79. P.... H....

    Oh Glen, you are have an incredible voice, the deep lows and lift for the highs, you can sing others so well as your own

  80. M.... A....

    Very nicely done!

  81. J.... H....

    Of coarse its Great!! It is being sung by the Greatest Singer EVER!!!!

  82. L.... G....

    always loved his music. went to a concert of his a couple of years ago, that man is a great showman and his children are so talented. Hope his remaining moments are full of great memories

  83. T.... B....

    GC can sing anything and make it sound excellent. Green Day should be proud.

  84. B.... W....

    obviously there's a reason why G.C. was a member of The Wrecking Crew. ( If you don't know, The Wrecking Crew was a group of studio musicians who cut demos of songs so other famous artists could decided if they wanted to do a version of the song. Glen was in The Wrecking Crew because he could sound like almost anybody and hear a song once and be able to play it perfectly on the guitar. )

  85. C.... B....

    I'm a fan of both Glen Campbell and Green Day - this isn't the first time I've listened to this version but today it gave me goose bumps. Been listening to lots of Glen the last few days whilst work on college assignments and I count my blessings that I as lucky enough to see him perform in Nottingham UK on his last visit there.

  86. C.... S....

    An American treasure!

  87. T.... N....

    Just heard this was a cover by green day this is so much cooler

  88. M.... A....

    A great example of someone that knew how to have the time of his life. Life is a beautiful Thing my friends. The rainy season has started so get ready to get wet every once in a while.

  89. m.... *....

    I love this version, even better than the original

  90. D.... S....

    I love this song. I dont think Glen ever did a bad song. evey song of his I've heard has been just great.

  91. A.... c....

    This is great.

  92. M.... ....

    Im not really into country music, i will listen to it very occasionally but this piece of music here? Ive listened to it many of times! Brilliant cover! :)

  93. D.... K....

    Sadness, happiness, amazement, respect, and pondering mortality.

  94. J.... D....

    WOW he can still sing great hes got to be around my age

  95. d.... ....

    Bless you Glen on your evolving journey. Thanks for wonderful music.
