Lyrics High Time (Live At Fillmore East, February 13-14, 1970) - Grateful Dead

You told me good-bye, how was I to know
You didn't mean good-bye, you meant please don't let me go?

I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay,
Now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say.
I'm having a high time, living the good life, well I know.

I was losing time, I had nothing to do,
No one to fight, I came to you.
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw,
The line is busted, the last one I saw.
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain,
Now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying.

I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way.

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong,
Come in when it's raining, go on out when it's gone.

We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know.
