I wish I was a good good man
Standing with your hand in mine
Doing everything just right
How happy we would be
Instead you’re looking at a no good fool

Giving him the sad sad eye
Doing what you’re good book tells you
When you see a man in need
I don’t want your charity
You ain’t got to toe that line
If I had a different history
Tell me would it make you mine?

If I was a good good good good man.(3x)

Pity on us simpleminded
We make a lot of bad mistakes
We never seem to roll 11
We never seem to catch a break
And I’ve done things there’s no excuse for
Ain’t no way to turn back time
I’m busy trying to fix tomorrow
By leaving yesterday behind
Here you come confusing love and forgiveness
Making me some special case
If you didn’t have to save me
Would you love me anyway?

If I was a good good good good man.(3x)
If I was a good good good good man.
If I was a good good good good man.

If I was a broken angel
If I stood at Heaven’s Gate
If I wasn’t all this wreckage
Tell me, would it be too late

If I was a good good good good man.(6x)
