What Good
Make amends
Tell your childhood friend they were something to you
'Cuz it gets dark
And when it's all dark
You're gon' wish for a light or two
No we don't talk like we used to do
In the meadows of our youth
But you're a part of the last good truth
'Fo this yellow took my tooth
Time like a howling jet plane
Taking off for good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a flyin' do, what good
Here I am
Standing at the edge of this wooden pier
And through this fog
At the waterfront docks
See the ship sails disappear
Yes it is gone to another shore
Where the sky's shiny blue and clear
But is it wrong to expect return
At the end of a troubled year
Time like a smokin' steamboat
Takin' off fo' good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a sailin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a flyin' do, what good
Rocky road
Must I pay a toll every time I ride
Cuz' all your streetlights lead me
Somewhere beneath the county line
And the song on the radio
Well it's cutting in an' out
And not long 'til my engine blows
Still my vessel's breaking down
Time like a racing speed car
Takin' off fo' good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a drivin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a sailin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a flyin' do, wah
Tell your childhood friend they were something to you
'Cuz it gets dark
And when it's all dark
You're gon' wish for a light or two
No we don't talk like we used to do
In the meadows of our youth
But you're a part of the last good truth
'Fo this yellow took my tooth
Time like a howling jet plane
Taking off for good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a flyin' do, what good
Here I am
Standing at the edge of this wooden pier
And through this fog
At the waterfront docks
See the ship sails disappear
Yes it is gone to another shore
Where the sky's shiny blue and clear
But is it wrong to expect return
At the end of a troubled year
Time like a smokin' steamboat
Takin' off fo' good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a sailin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a flyin' do, what good
Rocky road
Must I pay a toll every time I ride
Cuz' all your streetlights lead me
Somewhere beneath the county line
And the song on the radio
Well it's cutting in an' out
And not long 'til my engine blows
Still my vessel's breaking down
Time like a racing speed car
Takin' off fo' good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does a drivin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a sailin' do, what good
What good, what good
What good does a flyin' do, wah
