I Am a Good Man

I am a good man, but I've done some bad, bad things
I am a good man, but I've done some bad, bad things
I destroyed the family name
Burned half of Arkansas
I brought my family shame
I ruined my maw and paw
I am a good man, but I've done some bad, bad things

I am a hard man, but I've got a soft spot, friend
I am a hard man, but I've got a soft spot, friend
She's like a wilting flower
My heart will not keep still
She kills me by the hour
She done found my Achilles heel
I am a hard man, but I've got a soft spot, friend

I took a long drag; brother I'm good and lit
I took a long drag, brother I'm good and lit
All times are hard to leave
My mind will not keep still
Good things are hard to achieve
Sober life can feel so lame
I took a long drag; brother I'm good and lit

I toed a hard line but didn't toe a hard line long
I toed a hard line but didn't toe a hard line long
I put my liquor down
A couple days I's dry and strong
But then it seemed to hit my sound
I feared it'd effect my song
I toed a hard line but didn't toe a hard line long

I came a long way but I done back slid, friend
I came a long way but I done back slid, friend
I did right for a while
Then got back to Arkansas saw
I ditched those plans with style
When I heard that devil call
I came a long way but I done back slid, friend
I came a long way but I done back slid, again
