I love the lyrics to the theme song Good Times
Good Times
Any time you meet a payment
[right there it starts so ****ing dead on / when your bills are paid up for the month even when you’re living paycheck to paycheck it feels so good to know that no matter what for the next few weeks there’s (almost) definitely going to be a roof over your head / you gotta feel grateful for your good fortune having a place to lay your head]
Good Times
Any time you need a friend
[i love this line because I don’t think that’s what it says - I think the lyric goes “any time you feel free” and it’s just like hell yes that’s what life’s all about: feeling free]
Good Times
Any time you're out from under
Not getting hassled, not getting hustled
[again just **** yes! Your boss isn’t on your dick / bill collectors aren’t on your dick / nobody is hitting you up for any bull**** / like life is just leaving you to live life- feels ****ing great]
Keepin' your head above water
Making a way when you can
[it’s not making a “way” it’s making a “wave” love the mental visual of literally swimming in rough water and making it your bitch / the allegory of what a bad ass you have to be to survive and how ****ing fun life is when it goes right and you have the right attitude]
Temporary layoffs
[seriously! You got some time off but the work will be back / gladly trading the $$$ for time - get a chance to rest your hollow bones / do free **** like sex and talking to trees and reading]
Good Times
Easy credit rip-offs
[lol]
Good Times
Scratchin' and surviving
[church]
Good Times
Hanging in and jiving
[it’s definitely this and not hanging in a “chow line” - this is too like any time you feel free / just being in a situation where you can be yourself!]
Good Times
Ain't we lucky we got 'em
[yep]
Good Times
