Good Bones

Looking down the river at the city we live in
With the girl I adore who's ashamed to tell her friends
3:00 a.m. she kisses me on the Franklin Bridge
But waiting for the sun to set is no way to live

I am a dead man now
Cursed to walk this town
From Dearborn to the Street of Renown
You've made my bed and laid me down
But good bones don't stay in the ground

A cask of Amontillado to still her heavy hand
She does not remember, she doesn't understand
Awaken to the truth my dear, face it if you can
Or keep moving forward, just like you planned

I am a dead man now
Cursed to walk this town
From Dearborn to the Street of Renown
You've made my bed and laid me down
But good bones don't stay in the ground

Letters that you wrote to me, expressed your feelings fine
But there's no going back, when you leave nothing behind
You've not given anything that wasn't already mine
How you left was more or less a surprise

I am a dead man now
Cursed to walk this town
From Dearborn to the Street of Renown
You've made my bed and laid me down
But good bones don't stay in the ground
