Joseph Bones - Good Man Lyrics

He said to me
We don't need another singer
We need a good man
And a good plan
We need a leader
I said it seems
I don't know what you mean
What is a good man
Or a good plan
Will I know it when I see it

Good man, Good man
What am I to do
Just to live my life
As good as you
Good man, Good man
What am I to say
Just to make these evil
Thoughts go away

The old man replied
If you open your eyes
You'll see a kind man
And a wise man
If he says it, he's gonna do it
I did reply
I've told too many lies
I'm not a good man
Or a good friend
So I'll just step aside

Good man, Good man
What am I to do
Just to live my life
As good as you
Good man, Good man
What am I to say
Just to make these evil
Thoughts go away

Laughing he says
If that's all it takes
There's not a good man
Or a good friend
Left in this place
Wondering I asked
Then what does it take
Cause I'm bitter
And angry
At all my mistakes

Good man, Good man
What am I to do
Just to live my life
As good as you
Good man, Good man
What am I to say
Just to make these evil
Thoughts go away

And the sirens bled
And the ambulance arrived
I was pacing that pavement
Just trying to analyze
With his final breath
He must have lied
Cause the words he said
They just can't be right
I've been over them, over them
Every night
He said a good man lives
If he learns how to die
How can a good man live
When he learns how to die
